That's an absolutely disgusting combination of words.

"It looks like you're trying to flee a wildfire. However, you have just run out of Elon X Points and are unable to continue driving. Please wait 5 hours for your Elon X Points to replenish. Can't wait? We'd like to offer you our once in a lifetime SpaceX Booster X bundle of 15,000 points for just $299.99!"

Only usable for current emergency. Once current emergency is abated, points expire.

micro-transactions in video games and media was only a test. Now it's transitioning from the digital to physical world.

Man, at this point I just hope I don't see any lootboxes with limited time features in a car.

Oh shit, once they invent some sort of LCD paint that allows your car to be a blank canvas... you know that shit is going to happen.
