This page gathers a handful of joke posts about Tesla’s new Roadster from X, framed as social-media reaction, not reporting. They riff on the demo videos covered in our earlier story: on Thursday, Oct. 15, the prototype drove upside down on a ramp and turned in the air on thrusters, according to Tesla’s livestream, The Verge and Reuters, then jumped over a truck and other vehicles, Reuters reports.

This desk ran X full-archive searches on the morning of Saturday, Oct. 17, for posts since the event that mention the Roadster alongside words such as meme, kickflip and flying car, then read the candidates on X. It kept six posts that read as jokes, from six different accounts, and skipped posts that sold merchandise or tokens, used crude or insulting language, or presented invented claims as news. The engagement counts below reflect X as read at about 8:16 AM PT Saturday and will change; post times appear in Pacific time.

Each post loads from X. If an embed does not load, it shows as a plain quote with a link. This desk re-hosts no meme images or video.

The account litquidity (@litcapital), which lists about 1.7 million followers, posted the earliest pick at 4:05 PM PT on Oct. 15, before the 5:55 PM PT stream: “Elon Musk adding SpaceX rocket thrusters to make a flying Tesla Roadster after nearly 10 years of teasing the damn car.” It quotes a Polymarket post that put the odds of the car taking flight that night at “69% chance.” With 336 likes and 42,920 impressions, it led every joke post this desk found.

Bassam Turk (@bassamturk) took the road-rules angle at 1:58 AM PT on Oct. 16: “The first problem is there are no upside down roads, the other is that if you use its specs, you either lose your driving license and/or go to jail 😂” A video post from GelNox (@GelNox), captioned “Tesla Roadster Flying Car Meme Elon Musk” and posted at 9:49 PM PT on Oct. 16, opens on a police officer at the window of a white car, under the on-screen line “License and registration ple-”; this desk viewed only that preview frame.

Skateboarding supplied another thread. Tesla itself posted “Do a kickflip!” on the night of the event, and Tesla vice president of engineering Lars Moravy called the move “a kick flip,” The Verge reports. Nathaniel Kelly (@NuLitPublishing) answered talk that the car did the impossible: “But it wasn't the impossible. It was the kickflip.” His post, from 7:17 PM PT on Oct. 15, attaches skateboard images for comparison, one of them labeled “Impossible.”

Two more posts stretched the premise. Joshua Bryant (@2manyjoshes) wrote at 10:54 AM PT on Oct. 16: “Remember when HUVr Tech fake invented the Hoverboard from Back to the Future in 2014?” He added that the presentation felt like that. Mustafa Ergisi (@mustafaergisi), at 4:52 AM PT the same day, pitched a spin-off: “Flying car thrusters, but for your iPhone. Drop it and it does a kickflip, then lands itself 🚀”

Reading note: these posts show reactions on X, not reporting, and this desk does not endorse them. Counts measure likes and impressions on single posts, not how widely the jokes spread overall, and this desk makes no claim to a complete survey. It did not check whether any poster used AI tools to make an image or video. The flight footage comes from Tesla, and every performance figure remains a Tesla claim, as the earlier story sets out.
