‘Greatest thing I’ve ever seen’; ‘alien technology’: Internet reacts as Musk shows demo of Tesla flying car Roadster

Elon Musk's redesigned Tesla Roadster has captured the internet's attention after a demonstration showcasing the electric sports car performing aerial maneuvers using rocket-style thrusters. The white two-seater vehicle, developed in collaboration with SpaceX, performed dramatic stunts including mid-air turns and jumping over other vehicles during the event.

While the demonstration took place in controlled conditions, it showcased the Roadster's impressive acceleration, top speed, and range – all touted by Musk as exceeding expectations set for the original prototype unveiled in 2017. The innovative design has sparked reactions ranging from amazement to skepticism about the practicality of such technology on public roads, with some users likening the demonstration to "alien technology" or "the greatest thing I’ve ever seen."
