If you can't tell the difference between those markets and aviation, then I can see why you are gladly consuming Hill's coolaid, it tends to diminish credibility.
The number of faults in modern vehicles has also been increasing significantly, though if you are used to American vehicles then I can appreciate the view.
Consumer tech is not suitable for reliable and safe flying, if his machine gets produced in our lifetime, it will just be a matter of time before it too starts culling a few pilots.
I have seen the sportscar mentality in private pilots, it tends to end with people being scraped off the countryside.
It's all moot anyway, since it only exists in fantasy and it has a long, long way to go even after his "revolutionary" engine manages to turn without consuming itself.
