11 Years Later, Elon Musk Is Floating the Flying Car Scam Again

'Maybe we'll make a flying car, just for fun,' Elon Musk told the Independent back in 2014. The news outlet insisted at the time that Musk wasn't joking and that he should be taken seriously, given his success with other companies like PayPal. At the time, the Tesla CEO was worth a measly $8.4 billion according to Forbes, a fraction of the $413 billion he currently holds on paper. But when a billionaire CEO says he's going to do something, you're supposed to hear him out. 'We could definitely make a flying car—but that's not the hard part,' Musk was quoted as saying in 2014. 'The hard part is, how do you make a flying car that's super safe and quiet? Because if it's a howler, you're going to make people very unhappy.' Well, Musk never built a flying car. Probably because there are many more hurdles beyond making them quiet. Piloting them, for instance, poses a huge problem since most people aren't trained to fly. But Musk clearly hasn't given up the dream. Or he hasn't given up the hype, to be more precise. Because Musk loves to toss out wild ideas to get attention and suggested in a new tweet Tuesday that Tesla might be taking up the challenge of flying cars, writing, 'Maybe Tesla should make this.' Musk was quote-tweeting an AI-generated video of a Cybertruck outfitted with wings. The vehicle is seen flying among a post-apocalyptic wasteland 'run by robots,' which seem to be hulking around with no real purpose. Maybe Tesla should make this — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 19, 2025Can Musk pull it off? We're not going to hold our breath. Flying cars have been imagined for well over a century, with inventors and popular tech magazines insisting they were always just around the corner. There was the flying car of 1923, imagined in Science and Invention magazine for 50 years into the future. There were the flying cars of the 1950s, including a prototype that actually flew. And there was good ol' George Jetson in the 1960s, signalling to young baby boomers of the time that a wondrous, shiny future awaited them by the time they got older. The flying car felt inevitable for just about every generation of the 20th century. But nobody could quite pull it off. One of the most infamous flying cars was the flying Pinto of 1973. Two guys founded a company in 1968 called Advanced Vehicle Engineers, abbreviated as AVE, with the dream of mass-producing flying cars in California. The men strapped the wings and rear engine mount of a Cessna plane onto a Ford Pinto, a car that was known to explode even when it stayed safely on the ground. The company founders took off in the vehicle from Ventura County Airport on Sept. 11, 1973, and crashed, killing both men. And yet, flying cars are always just a little beyond the horizon. If you take a close look at the headlines, flying cars are often promised to be just two years away. It's a trend I noted back in 2015 when AeroMobil said their flying car would be released by 2017. I promised at the time that I would literally eat the sun if that car was released to the public. Needless to say, I didn't have to attempt such a feat. It didn't help that AeroMobil crashed during a test flight, though no one died. The company closed down for good in 2023. I'm not going to say that Musk will never create a flying car. They've been built before, and they exist in some form. The thing that doesn't exist is a market for them. People need to get a pilot's license to fly a roadable aircraft. Musk, as the wealthiest person in the history of the world, could easily use some of his $413 billion to build a plane that looks like a Cybertruck. The question is whether he could mass-produce one that people would actually buy. Tesla has sold just 52,000 Cybertrucks since they were released in November 2023, according to CNBC, far short of the 1 million preorders the company got when the truck was first announced in 2019. Part of that might have something to do with the fact that the Cybertruck is much more expensive than what was promised. Or it could be that it doesn't have the range or towing capacity that was initially advertised. Those pathetic sales might also have something to do with those two Nazi-style salutes Musk gave on the day of President Trump's inauguration back in January. Who knows for sure? Whatever it is, building a flying Cybertruck for mass adoption seems extremely unlikely right now or any time in the foreseeable future. Unless Musk was talking less about the flying Cybertruck in that AI-generated video and was referring to the apocalypse part. That seems very doable.

How Coaching Can Help You Build A Business That Runs Without You

Veranda Adkins is a business coach, founder of Travel Legacy Inc., and co-founder of the Association of Black Travel Professionals (ABTP). As much as I enjoy sharing my experiences and helping others reach their goals, I didn't always see myself as a coach. With so much noise out there, I was skeptical about falling into the same category as people offering six-figure formulas or promising success in 30 days. I don't have a secret sauce. What I do have is the expertise and aptitude to navigate wins and losses, pivots and lessons, and a genuine desire to help others avoid the mistakes I've made and move faster toward their goals. Before offering one-on-one coaching, I launched a nonprofit focused on the growth and certification of Black travel professionals. After spending over a decade in the industry, I noticed that Black travel agents were underrepresented at major events. At award shows, there were usually just four or five of us, and it was always the same familiar faces. I kept thinking, "How do I get more people who look like me not just in the room but on this stage?" That question inspired me to found the Association of Black Travel Professionals (ABTP). That marked the beginning of my journey as a coach—not as a title I chased but as a response to a real need I could not ignore. Why Mid-Level Professionals Need Coaching Most Mid-career is often where people feel the most stuck. You've figured out what to do and found some success, but now you're hitting a ceiling. You're juggling too many roles, your growth feels capped and you're constantly working in the business instead of on it. That's when coaching can be the most effective. Not as a quick fix, but as a strategic shift. It offers an outside perspective and helps you identify bottlenecks in your business. Most mid-level travel agents I coach are truly committed to scaling their businesses. However, they struggle to pinpoint underlying issues that hinder growth or reduce efficiency. After examining their workflow or mapping out processes step-by-step, I often discover common bottlenecks, such as an emotional attachment to tasks they can easily hand off or a lack of time management skills. Whether you're scaling, shifting in direction or simply trying to run a business that doesn't rely on you around the clock, coaching can help you make smarter, more sustainable moves. It's Not About Having The Blueprint One of the biggest myths about coaching is that it's all about handing over a ready-to-use formula. But good coaching is quite the opposite. It's not about giving answers but more about asking better questions. I don't coach people to copy my path as a travel entrepreneur. I help them forge their own entrepreneurial journey. It's about identifying roadblocks, creating structure and building a business that aligns with their values. And the impact of coaching isn't just subjective. According to a global study by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the International Coaching Federation, clients "report an average ROI of seven times the cost of employing a coach," and respondents overwhelmingly say coaching improved their self-confidence, communication skills and performance. For many of my clients, the breakthrough is subtle yet powerful. Gradual steps, such as finally hiring a virtual assistant, restructuring packages or setting boundaries that free up time, can lead to major wins. Is Coaching Right For You? While coaching is not just for entrepreneurs or business owners who are struggling, here are some signs that it might be time: • You're experiencing a lack of growth, and you're not sure what to do next. • You're spending all your time in the trenches of daily operations. • You're generating income but not building long-term value. • You're saying yes to everything and feeling stretched too thin. • You want your business to grow, but not at the cost of your peace. When Coaching Isn't Essential While I believe coaching is helpful in many different scenarios, there are some careers and situations where it's less likely to be useful: • You're a professional with a structured pathway (i.e., RN, CPA, K-12 educator) where credentials such as licenses and certifications will lead to career advancement. • You're an employee with access to great managers and strong leadership development within your organization. • You're in the early phase of exploring a business idea or testing a product and would get more value from free resources than paid coaching Final Thoughts Coaching is not about perfection. It's about gaining perspective from someone who has walked the path, understands your industry and can help you step out of survival mode and into sustainable leadership. Whether you're in travel, wellness or tech, one thing remains true: The right support can change everything.
