WHAT ??

Yesterday was Elon’s greatest magic trick. It got everybody believe an amazing technological gap had just been made. I got fooled too. At first, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I was so excited. And don’t get me wrong , the technology, the precision at which the car did what it did, was fabulous. However, it was not a car doing it. And that is the true, Machiavellic genius of Elon. There is no flying car. There is no car at all. It was an empty shell. As light as possible. No seats. Nothing. Full of gas tanks. With a maximum of 2 secs of thrust usage. In other words, it was a drone. A drone with a shell that looked like a car. Imagine if it had been a square piece of metal instead. You would have said “nice”. The truth is, it is nothing more than that. It was not the car that you will see in the street. It was just a piece of light metal, that had the same body as the one you wil buy. The technology exists since a long time. If nobody did it, it’s not that they didn’t think about it’s it’s because it is not sustainable. It is not achievable. So why were we fooled ? Because most people can’t imagine the biggest entrepreneur and genius of our century would have put millions into a show and be ruthless enough to put a fake car in a demonstration with the goal of selling something that will have nothing to do with what he is showing. It was a show. A spectacle. Pure manipulation. Ruthless, immoral marketing. The whole “ socialism vs capitalism” or “Europe vs America” we are seeing is the result of a fabulously done propaganda. The car doesn’t fly. It never will. Most importantly, there wasn’t any car on that show. But the brainwashed idiots that we are will rush to buy it, waiting for another two years ( 9 have passed already since the preorders), only to receive something that has nothing to do with what we have seen. Expect the shell. But in 2026, it seems it is what we are. Empty shells for which entertainment and lies are enough to make us dance like apes. Porsche maybe didn’t do a flying demonstration. But at least they will deliver exactly what they have shown. And it will drive better than any Tesla ever will ( especially if it weights two fugging tons).

Turns out the future does have flying cars

OK, I might have been wrong about building with a lean team in the age of AI. We’re now at 40 people and plan to double in the next 6 months. When building is this much better, easier, and faster, the opportunity cost of not building more is huge. We’re hiring because you still need humans in many parts of the building loop. Yes, building is easier, but that just makes me want to build more things. Serve more customers. Build the best product they’ve ever used. The reality is that products today still suck. Coding is solved, but building great products hasn’t been. Products still don’t do everything you want them to do. They’re still buggy. They’re not flexible enough. Building still needs humans. That might change, but it doesn’t make sense to act like we already live in that world when we don’t. I want to build more, grow more, and achieve more. I want more customers who love our product and get real value from it. And I want to enjoy this beautiful moment in history, when building is so much easier and still so fulfilling.
