The new Tesla Roadster produces more thrust than an F-16 fighter jet at military power
Roadster Thrust augment:
>80 kN (~18,000 lbf)
F-16 with F100-PW-229:
~79.2 kN (~17,800 lbf) without afterburner
Tesla packed enough cold-gas thrust into a car that exceeds the non-afterburning thrust of an F-16 engine
With afterburner, the F-16 exceeds at ~130 kN
But the fact this comparison even exists is insane
Tesla just pushed automotive engineering deep into aerospace territory

250,000 people from blue states move to Texas annually.
18.4% of Texas is foreign-born now.
If Texas goes blue, this is why.

Elon laid out a path to peace between Ukraine and Russia back in October 2022, and he was attacked for it by almost everyone
In November 2023, he explained to Lex Fridman why he had proposed peace: “a lot of people dying for basically almost no changes in land,” with an entire generation of young Ukrainians and Russians paying the price
Two and a half years after his original proposal, he warned that Ukraine should seek peace or suffer severe loss of life for no gains, and called continuing the war cruel and inhumane
Today the world is talking about the same kind of deal he proposed, only after hundreds of thousands more lives were thrown into a meat grinder for almost nothing
He was right then, and he is right now
