The reason he said so is to attract investors. So far, none of his XYZ came true.
As far as I can remember, none of us "negative nancies" as you call us ever said we wish he fails. We only questioned XYZ mantra.
Actually, he said he is building a certified helicopter, just starting with a "self-build" that is effectively going to be the same thing. So he has implied it is anything but experimental, and I suspect that is a big appeal to prospective buyers. I have no doubt he is opening a new market, with his flying-sportscar analogy, I can only imagine how many carbon-fibre craters that culture will produce. Hopefully the buyers flying abilities surpass their grammar skills.
