Also, Musk knows better and hasn’t blown a few Billion US on a flying electric car. He probably read the Raptor threads. However, had he don’t it, somehow he would have found a profitable way to do so. Nothing beats the efficiency of an airplane and helicopter. Nothing (yet) beats the energy density of Dino Juice. Mr. Reactor is still just a movie “stunt” and dark matter powered spaceships is still many years into the future. Ask Leela, Bender, and Fry about Nibbler’s dark matter.
