The Boeing 747-8 being offered to Donald Trump by Qatar once served the Qatari royal family and has been sitting unsold for years.
The jet, a lavishly configured version of Boeing’s largest passenger aircraft, has been lingering without a buyer since being put up for sale in 2020, according to aircraft listings and aviation analysts.
John Goglia, a former member of the National Transportation Safety Board, told Forbes that giving the 747-8 to the U.S. would allow the Qataris to avoid maintenance costs that were only getting higher—with the 747 fleet shrinking worldwide and fewer mechanics available who know how to work on them.
Soon Musk will offer Trump a special Cybertruck as a replacement for The Beast. Because he doesn’t know what to do with all those swasticars nobody buys anymore.
I wonder at what price point it becomes worth it to buy his swasticars and chop them up for parts. That’s assuming that the parts aren’t so poorly made that no one would want them. I have some nifty ideas for a battery pack that big, which would probably burn down my house.
I would guess the only decent thing in it is the Tesla motors. Body is riddled with issues. Batteries as well. And all the electronics are proprietary and for the most part not repurposable.
I look forward to a picture sometime in the future of a field of stripped out swastikars waiting to be crushed.
Rig them with remote controls, and then hold a competition. Each contest, different winning conditions and course are used. Month 1, modify the cars with weapons and duke it out. The next, a marathon where the car with the most distance is the victor, the third a destruction derby, and so forth.
It would be way more fun than a Mr. Beast show, I tell ya.
I see your giant RC car idea and raise you cybertrck demolition derby.
And every year, sand takes the trophy.
I see nothing wrong with this.
