Plot twist: this was actually the launch of the Tesla armoured glass piercing ball.

He answered like a true programmer: Well, It worked on my machine

This car is a bulletproof fortress you will always be safe in even in the apocalypse.
As long as no-one tries to throw a rock at it.

I love how his immediate response was "Maybe that was too hard." So the bullet needs to be gentle on the glass?

The man yelling "shoot et" in full brogue while Elon awkwardly shuffles about has me in stitches.

Most the crowd: "wow it didn't break"

One guy: "SHOOT IT"

2023, and I'm still laughing so hard

That man is a genius to a disturbing amount of people.

He signed off on a car that looks like it came from a 'futuristic' sci-fi movie made in the '70s and thought 'armoured' means being able to withstand a wrench being thrown at it.

I love the fact that he obviously is throwing it softly for the back window and it still breaks. 🤣

A masterpiece. Looks like a PlayStation 1 game.

I remember when my son used to draw cars that look like that when he was 5

This demo fail reminds me of his first week as Twitter owner

In case of an emergency an unbreakable glass is one of crash victim’s and first responder’s worst nightmare
