UPDATE: Elon Musk's Tesla Truck Unveiling Disaster NOT FAKE and Elon was Upset
-- Multiple Tesla-connected sources tell TMZ, the failed demonstration was not fake. A number of people think it was all designed for a viral social media moment, but we've learned that's not the case at all. We're told both Elon and-- Tesla's chief designer and ball thrower -- were confident going in that the glass would not shatter. They did not do a rehearsal, and after the glass shattered sources say both Elon and Franz were"upset, bewildered and dumbfounded.
We'll say this ... if Elon isn't firing a handful of people right now, he's going soft. On Thursday at SpaceX HQ in Hawthorne, CA ... he pulled back the curtain on the Cybertruck, and had a staffer throw a metal ball at the driver side windows to prove the near-indestructibility of its"armor glass." It couldn't have gone worse as both windows shattered. Elon seemed to vamp to find a silver lining, saying ..."It didn't go through. That's a plus side."
It was reminiscent of some of SpaceX's early Falcon 9 rocket disasters. 'Memba this one? Juuuuust a bit outside of the landing pad, and into the drink! To be fair, the Falcon 9 works like a charm now, so maybe that bodes well for the Cybertruck's future, but calling its introduction an embarrassment is an enormous understatement.
