Musk has done this before. His solar roof tiles were made by an LA prop company. I'm sure if he showed a magic blood testing box people would invest billions.
The solar roof tiles were a real working product, they were just unprofitable even at very high price Tesla were selling them for. I briefly looked into them when I got solar panels installed at my previous home and it was about 50% more expensive thab replacing my roof and and getting traditional solar panels installed combined.
They never happened. Putting PV panels on the shady side of a roof was as brilliant as Hyperloop.
You think they didn't know how much they would cost to make?
