Tesla Inc and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Saturday reiterated his adoration for the Boeing 747.
What Happened: "Wings can flex to crazy levels," Musk wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in response to a user who shared a short, 22-second video of the Boeing 747's wing in a turbulence
"Airplane wings aren't some rigid chunks of metal: in fact, they probably have a bit more flex than you'd expect," the user wrote.

Musk, seemingly a fan of Boeing's engineering, previously picked the Boeing 747 over the Airbus A380 in a poll on X.
"747. I wish Boeing still made that plane," Musk wrote, while adding that the plane is almost supersonic in a dive.
About The 747: The 747, developed by Boeing Co (NYSE:BA), was formerly called the original jumbo jet or even the queen of the skies. It is the world's first twin-aisle airplane with production starting in 1967.
The last 747 aircraft was delivered to Atlas Air in January after Boeing confirmed in July 2020 that it would end its production.
