Is anyone watching this on X. Is Musk trying to get everyone to send their crypto to him on X?

I think the car is going to suspend upside down with the thrust and not fly

The thrusters push down, not up.


And what happens if you turn the car upside down, like by using a ramp? Would the thrusters push it up instead of down? Letting it fly?

What we have learned tonight is that if you make wagers with Slippin' Jimmy you would be better off trying to double up investing in YouTube crypto schemes.

Elon just said it can fly like a rocket. Slippin Jimmy will argue it though.

Doing a longer flight now.
