President Trump reacted to Elon Musk’s new flying Tesla automobile, which Musk said on Thursday “will be an actual car that’s on the roads.”
Trump described it as something “nobody ever thought possible” while commending Musk’s innovation.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Musk held an expo on Thursday evening in Texas to showcase the next-generation Tesla Roadster, revealing its abilities to fly, do flips, and go from 0 to 60 mph in under one second.

The car was seen hovering off the ground, then flipping over multiple cars and a semi-truck cab, and landing safely.

The prototype unveiled this week will not be available until 2028, but it’s still an enormous step in turning what was once science fiction into reality.
Asked what he thought about seeing a flying car in real life, Trump on Friday noted that he recently awarded Elon Musk the National Medal of Science earlier this month and highlighted his historic achievement.
“I’m very happy for Elon because I think he’s— we just gave him the science award along with five other people, and he deserves it,” Trump said. “It’s great.”
Trump joked, “I don’t know from a standpoint whether or not you’re going to see me in that car, but it’s pretty impressive, very impressive.”
“We’re doing, as a country, things that nobody ever thought possible,” he added.
