Could be virtue signalling, but I think it is more likely an attempt to exploit the gullibility of very rich people in the face of a fashionable new technology. Startup sets up glossy website with words created by marketing; startup attracts investment; startup burns through capital (especially with salaries to founders); startup fails, hey startups are risky. How about an electric flying car?
