Saw it this morning and assumed it was AI. Maybe this is an elaborate prank by Musk.

Great.

Wonder if my HO insurance covers one of these coming through my roof because some blonde was trying to apply lipstick instead of paying attention?

I am sure it's not included in your policy. At least that is what I am always told any time I try to make a claim.......and it doesn't matter what type of insurance.

Saw it - truly unreal! Looked like Back to the Future. Elon may be a bit odd but he is a true genius.

It probably had just enough compressed air to do that stunt. A pretty good demonstration for what the future could hold, but I don't think anybody will be flying one of these from Manhatton to JFK airport or the like any time soon.
