US-basedSouth African entrepreneur and SpaceX founder Elon Musk has apparently once again managed to stoke speculations about making an electric supersonic plane with no more than a brief, non-committal message on social media.
“One day,” Musk tweeted in response to Twitter user FaZe Censor inquiring when he is going to “make planes faster.”

Others rushed to bombard Musk with questions — sometimes serious, sometimes snarky — about his future plans.
When are you doing the SpaceX AMA, it's weeks overdue. Also, we SpaceX fans really want to know more about Starship changes.

When are you going to make cars that don't endanger everyone in their vicinity and service centers to fix the lemons you pump out, brah.

Earlier in November, Musk said in an interview with Recode news website that “a supersonic vertical-takeoff-and-landing electric jet would be interesting to do at some point”, adding that he’s been pondering the concept of such craft “for nine years.”
