The $92 billion price tag instantly labeled it a joke, as that's 20+ times the
capitalization of Joby. It is fun to think of an Apple line of aircraft called iHover,
iFly, and iAV8. And, as an indirect investor in Apple, maybe I could get a discount...

The price tag was indeed eye-watering, but given the absurdities of what
goes on in that market, hard to rule anything out these days.
