Seriously though.

Musk promises self-driving cars, hyperloops, tunnels, and what they actually deliver is... a †balance bike*?!

Satire is dead, because I can't imagine a worse self-own.

Same reason the Musk Corporate Universe does everything else: because Elon woke up and thought it would be cool.
Which would be fine I think if the company was otherwise successful. But the only thing preventing its complete downfall at this point is the high import taxes on the Chinese EV competition, and the only reason for said high import taxes is market protection.

But while Europe and the US desperately try to protect their own markets, the rest of the world - you know, the other 7.5 billion people - is a potential customer.

I mean at least it is transportation adjacent. Tesla flamethrower on other hand ...
