Did he say designed to destroy or would destroy the other vehicle?

Saying designed to destroy denotes intent.

He said that it's expressly designed to turn minivans into scrap metal and hamburger meat on the turnpike, then laughed maniacally.
You are taking it out of context. Following that he said Eff the police 420 blaze it and took a bite out of a baby.
is this a joke or not. Hard to say when discussing musk
Do you have the video source link for that? Thanks
I mean, that's all you need to know about this guy's maturity level.
Sarcasm often doesn't do well here (for good reason, there's a signal:noise expectation) but it's still surprising that sibling comments are taking this seriously.

According to the article he "implied".

Another source and direct quote:

"If you’re ever in an argument with another car, you will win,” Musk told his fans at the delivery event in its Texas factory in Austin. “Here at Tesla we have the finest in apocalypse technology."

yea, unfortunately ars doesn't have the best track record with musk related news
Ok, maybe a direct quote from another source will suffice?

“If you’re ever in an argument with another car, you will win,” Musk told his fans at the delivery event in its Texas factory in Austin. “Here at Tesla we have the finest in apocalypse technology.”

It is worth calling out that Jonathan Gitlin has a history of regularly injecting editorial bias against Tesla/Musk in his reporting and might not be neutral.
