A rocket plane like that , commercial flights, flying passengers must be bulletproof, absolutely safe!
Did he think of that?


That scumbag is an idol to the progressive idiots out there. He got $5 billion in government subsidies for Tesla and Space-X. They still don't make a profit, despite MORE tax-payer paid incentives of up to $14,000 PER CAR (nice for rich people to help them buy a $100,000 Tesla).


His cheapest Tesla car cost $35,000. It can do 235 miles on a charge, not bad.
Still not cheap, cost of 3 Ford Fiestas.
I figured , this is some gov. conspiracy to convert old economy into gadget economy!
Gov. found a useful idiot to throw his ideas and G's money around.
Some thing like the dot.com economy of the 90's. LOL!


The mileage of those cars was already shown by European tests to be considerably less than claimed. Real-world conditions and all.
