If it makes it off the launch pad...

One can do amazing things with graphics nowadays.

Cape Carnaval in Brazil?

Unbelievable. It's gonna cause litter on Mars tho too.. (I guess)

 

[TVR27]

What is he smoking?

What is he smoking?

Something that a lot of people should be smoking these days. We need more people like this.

You know how every year someone prints a list of the most stressful jobs in the world? I'm beginning to think "financial advisor to Elon Musk" should be on the top of that list permanently.

I can confirm, I'm the martian who's supposed to receive the car.

Jesus Christ, when do you and other sites stop posting about this clown on automotive news? He is the Kardashian of automobile industry. Its so annoying to hear everyday new nonsense from this loudmouth.

What happened to car media? Theres so much interesting to post a news about, instead the sites prefer to post about this liar every week with zero substance. If i tell you i will make a car fueled with tomato sauce which can drive 2000 miles, will you post a news about me too? Car media has become a pure joke.

Cool story bro.

It's pretty easy for you to skip over it and move on with your life instead of making an ass of yourself.

Do you really think stories like this are new? You clearly never had automotive magazine subscriptions in the past as fluff stories like this were a regular occurrence.

Wrong presents under the tree? Or did Santa leave no presents at all?

Looking at his website I would give him about as much credibility as your usual YouTube conspiracy theory nutjob.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Next...

My point is we need MORE daring and innovative people. We'll get nowhere just sitting on our hands calling those people out for stupid reasons.

It's in a heliocentric orbit around Mars, so it'll never actually land on the planet.

I can confirm, I'm the martian who's supposed to receive the car.

Weirdly enough, Musk said that if you can get the car it's yours in response to a Tweet.

 

[Eyes Fried Open]

Autobots Roll Out.

 

[KungFury]

I didn't think people would get mad over this but sadly the anger is spreading over the social media sites. I saw a lady on one of them complain that he should be curing world hunger instead, can't find the tweets or whatever they were but pretty sad, well, funny to me but I'm twisted that way.

Rock on crazy dude sending cars into space 👍

Next step:

Fully eletric space shuttle.

They're going to have a hard time finding a 22,000 mile long extension cord to recharge it with.

Solar panels would actually work pretty well in space.

The only issue I'd see is an electric motor generating enough thrust to break Earth's gravitational pull.

I really need to stop forgetting to put a on the end of my joke posts.

Cause you see, Teslas have to be plugged into recharge, and Elon Musk owns... and...

Yeah, I'll just show myself out.

 

[Danoff]

No car? Depends on your definition of car.

So 🤬 exciting!

This guy talks down anything that is not a Commodore or Falcon.
He said the FK8 Type R was crap.

Wrong and I'm going to give Elon Musk less credibility than a conspiracy theorist.

Care to elaborate? Because otherwise all you'll accomplish is destroying your own credibility.

But...the lock.

Edit: It occurs to me I brought up the lock in another thread. Whoops!
