To be clear, my intention was not to throw shade on SpaceX or Tesla as companies, or on any of their USEFUL products. I like both companies, and their products. I'm a customer.

My intention was to demonstrate the intent behind the demonstration, as physics says this is 100+ times more inefficient than a business jet, and will never fly more than 5 miles given its current size. Thats not me, thats PHYSICS.

This was a sales pitch for a corporate merger, not a product launch.

This is financial engineering.

So by "do better" I meant, think longer term, solve a real problem. They have the resources, and the talent, and we got a donkey show.

It will never fly more than 200 meters.
