A Quarter Billion Reasons to Smile (or Scheme)

Well well well... what do we have here? Seems Toyota bless their cotton socks just handed over a cool $250 million to Joby Aviation. That's right folks! Enough moolah to make even Batman crack a grin... or at least twitch a little. This is all part of some 'deal' they cooked up promising a total of $500 million for Joby's little flying machines. 'Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order and everything becomes chaos,' you know? Maybe that's what they're going for. Traffic jams in the sky? Now that's entertainment!

Streamlining Manufacturing... or Building Doomsday Devices?

Mr. JoeBen Bevirt the brains behind this operation is all giddy about 'streamlining manufacturing processes.' Streamlining huh? Sounds a bit… boring. I prefer chaos! But hey maybe they're secretly building something far more exciting than just air taxis. Imagine the possibilities! You know sometimes all it takes is a little push. Just a little push! Perhaps these flying contraptions are perfect for raining glitter bombs on Gotham! The possibilities are endless.

Deepening Integration: Are They Marrying the Machines?

The press release goes on about 'deepening integration' and 'next generation travel.' Oh the humanity! Sounds like a robotic love affair to me. Are we sure Toyota isn't just trying to build a robot army disguised as air taxis? Seems I was only ahead of the curve! I always knew machines would take over. I'm not a monster I'm just ahead of the curve. And who knows maybe these air taxis will be delivering my calling cards all over the globe. A joker can dream can't he?

eVTOL: Helicopters for the Uber Generation?

So these eVTOL thingamajigs are basically fancy helicopters for folks too impatient to sit in traffic. Reduce congestion and emissions? Bah! Where's the fun in that? Give me a good ol' fashioned car chase through the city streets any day. But I must admit the potential for mayhem is rather enticing. Picture this: a fleet of Jokermobiles zipping through the air spreading anarchy wherever they go!

United Airlines Wants in on the Aerial Anarchy

Of course United Airlines had to get in on the act. They're partnering with Archer Aviation another flying car company. Seems everyone wants a piece of the aerial pie. Maybe I should start my own airline. Joker Airways! Our motto? 'Why so serious? Fly with us!' We'll offer complimentary chaos with every flight. And maybe a free stick of dynamite on arrival!

2020 Vision: Toyota's Previous Plunge

Turns out Toyota already threw almost $400 million at Joby back in 2020. They are either really committed or really really bad with money. Either way it benefits me! More lunacy is always a good thing. You see their morals their "code," it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. You see I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.
