“Look, my X CyberBoat™️ can circle the drain far closer and faster than anyone else! What? No no, I dropped that outboard motor in there on purpose, it wasn’t crucial to the boat’s operations. Same with the rudder I threw out last week! And all our old passengers from when this was a ferry service are coming back now, look!” *Musk, nose dusted with white powder, gestures wildly at row of seats about 60% empty, rest are filled by mannequins, garden gnomes, literal piles of trash, and a couple of neo-nazis*
