There's a ton of silly shit being said. As usual with these things. Sometimes by the media. The Musk/Buttigieg interaction resulted in the FAA modifying its instructions so that the helicopter Musk was on the phone with could land

I pulled a couple out of my pile a few years ago to look at. The rubbers were pretty well gone on mine, belts gone, the rails had some sort of blooming corrosion. unless you've got very lucky it's probably a real refurbishment jo
