Matt Walsh, the conservative commentator who is now forty years old, has shared his thoughts on Tesla’s next-generation Roadster after a clip of the car launching off a ramp and hovering back down circulated on X. Walsh didn’t hold back, sharing his reaction with his followers.“Three immediate thoughts come to mind," shared Walsh."First, this is awesome. Second, most people are terrible drivers and should not be entrusted with this technology. Third, I’m a good driver so I should have one,” added Walsh.Elon Musk also reacted to the viral footage, writing,“Turns out the future does have flying cars,” shared Musk.As per a report shared by The Wall Street Journal, Tesla unveiled its second-generation sports car on Thursday at a lavish event held at a SpaceX rocket test site facility in McGregor, Texas. The launch had the feel of an outdoor concert, complete with fog and red laser lights, as content creators flanked a main stage. A towering, backward-curving ramp structure, not unlike a skateboard halfpipe, served as the centerpiece, with the car launching up before coming back down and going back up again.“What you see with your eyes, you will not believe. You’re going to see the results of what happens when you have a collaboration with the world’s best car company and the world’s best rocket company,” said Musk.Fan suction, air thrusters and a design overhaul: Inside Tesla’s revived Roadster revealTesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk attends the Golden Age of American Innovation Summit at the Institute of Peace on October 08, 2026 in Washington, DC - Source: GettyAs per the report shared by The Wall Street Journal, Tesla engineering VP Lars Moravy revealed that the Roadster uses a fan suction system underneath the car to increase grip and downforce. Not long after that demonstration, the Roadster flew through the air using a pair of compressed-air thrusters, something Musk had long promised would be a feature of the vehicle.The reveal was a reboot of sorts for Tesla. The company had first shown off a prototype of the Roadster back in November 2017, and started taking deposits of $50,000 from customers who wanted to get in line to buy one. Those who wanted the limited Founders Series model were asked to put down $250,000, with Tesla capping that exclusive run at 1,000 cars. The Roadster was slated to start production in 2020, but that never materialized.A certified pre-owned Tesla Roadster for sale is on display inside the Tesla Motors' expanded showroom at Santana Row in San Jose on April, 4, 2013 - Source: GettyThe Roadster unveiled on Thursday looked like an almost completely different vehicle from what customers had seen in 2017. It now features sharp angles, not unlike the polarizing Cybertruck, a stark contrast to the sleek, curvaceous sports car the company had teased for so long.Tesla’s decision to revive the long-planned sports car represents a slight rekindling of its core auto business. In recent years, the company had put driver-operated cars on the back burner in favor of advancing autonomous vehicles and robotics. Tesla recently stopped producing its higher-end Model S and Model X, saying their factory space would be reworked to make Optimus humanoid robots.Matt Walsh doubles down on flying car opinions as fans and followers react to the Roadster reveal:(L-R) Host Candace Owens, Matt Walsh, Catalina Lauf, and David Harris Jr. are seen on set of "Candace" on May 10, 2021 in Nashville, Tennessee - Source: GettyWalsh didn’t stop at his initial reaction. He continued sharing his opinion on X with his signature humor, adding,“Most of you haven’t even figured out how to merge onto the highway. Please leave the flying cars to the competent drivers like me, and maybe five or six other people.” His posts quickly drew reactions from followers, with one user writing,“You know your product demo for an electric car went well when Matt Walsh posts about considering buying one,” shared the user.Others on X took the conversation in a more practical direction, with one user imagining a real-world safety application for the technology.“I wonder if this technology could be developed as a safety system to help cars avoid collisions? Imagine someone drifting into oncoming traffic and your car detects it and launches into the air to avoid the collision?” shared the user.Another follower connected Walsh’s second thought to their own reaction, writing,“Omg yes, your second thought was literally my first thought. I feel like this would be in a whole new league for drivers education,” shared the user.As per the report shared by The Wall Street Journal, Musk shared that the new Roadster would be the final driver-operated vehicle that the company ever produces. On Thursday, he reaffirmed that position, saying,“This will actually be, long term, the only manually driven car that Tesla makes.”
