  "account": "Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled what it calls a 'flying car' at a Texas test facility belonging to SpaceX. The two-person sports car is capable of going from 0 to 60 mph in less than a second. Musk demonstrated the car's unique ability to climb a steep ramp using suction underneath it, hang upside down, spin off the ramp, and land using air jets. Musk then joked on X (formerly known as Twitter) that his OG Roadster was still orbiting Mars and Earth.\n\nMeta AI head Alexandr Wang reacted to the Tesla flying car demo with a humorous question about who was driving the vehicle: \"wait who the hell was driving the tesla.\" Wang's edited video featured a fluffy white animated character sitting at the steering wheel, likely representing Meta's Muse.\n\nThe Tesla flying car, or the next-generation Roadster electric, will use 10 nozzles and ultra-high-pressure air tanks to propel itself both in the air and on the ground. Elon Musk described the technology as \"the results of what happens when you have a collaboration with the world's best car company and the world's best rocket company.\" The car is set to go into production in 2028.",
