Elon Opens Pandora’s Box With 2025 Roadster Claims on Rogan Show…

“Roadster secured…” - Elon, probably

In case you missed it on Friday, Elon went on Rogan again… and basically gave us the prelude to a new religion: The 2025 Roadster. Eight years after first teasing the next-gen Roadster… a car so delayed it’s practically a myth… he told Joe Rogan that Tesla will finally unveil a prototype “before the end of 2025.” He also implied it might even fly, because of course he did.

Now if you can’t tell, this is precisely what happens when Tesla runs out of earnings catalysts: Musk invents one. Case in point: The man who walked so a government shutdown could run said the new Roadster will make “all the James Bond cars combined look boring.” Which, to anyone who’s watched this movie before, means he has about three renderings and a half-charged laptop. The current record for Roadster delays sits at seven and a half years… roughly the same amount of time it takes for one of his timelines to become a meme.

What’s interesting here though, is that exactly one day earlier, Sam Altman… Elon’s personal “Newman”... posted  on X that he tried to cancel his Roadster reservation from 2018 after his refund request bounced. Elon responded, because he always does. Two billionaires, one platform, both allergic to silence. 

Meaning, Musk simply bringing this up on Rogan’s show is about dominance. Altman builds artificial intelligence; Musk builds the mythology it runs on. Every public jab between them is performance art for investors… an ongoing custody battle for the future. Add in the fact that there’s  a shareholder vote next week over a pay package worth nearly a trillion dollars in Tesla stock… and you can clearly see that Musk needs attention, not necessarily accuracy. A mysterious new Roadster on Rogan is cheaper than an ad campaign.

Now of course, time will only tell us if Musk’s Roadster will happen or not… but in the short term, he’s doing what he does best. And that’s reinserting himself into a narrative moments before it moves on. Tesla could be missing deadlines, burning cash, fighting regulators…it doesn’t matter. He’ll show up, say “flying car,” and everyone forgets what quarter it is LOL. But I digress. Sure, the Roadster might arrive this decade. It might not. But the spectacle always lands on time. Which means, for now, keep your eyes on both Tesla and Elon… not for the car so to speak, but for the part where  Elon convinces everyone gravity is optional again. Until next time, friends…
