Just saw Archer and Joby are going full scorched earth in court lol. So apparently Archer's claiming Joby's been running a whole manufacturing operation in China for like over a decade, getting government grants and everything, then shipping aircraft parts back labeled as socks and napkins to dodge tariffs. Wild, right? Joby's basically saying it's all nonsense and that Archer's just making stuff up because of their own legal problems. This is the flying taxi space btw—these are supposed to be the next big thing in urban transport. The timing is actually insane because literally the same day they filed this countersuit, the FAA was naming both of them for new eVTOL pilot programs including passenger flights in Manhattan and cargo runs in Florida. Both stocks went up anyway—Archer like 4%, Joby over 5%. The whole thing started when Joby sued Archer for corporate espionage back in November, claiming they hired someone who stole confidential files. Now Archer's firing back with accusations about hidden China ties and misrepresenting themselves as American-made. Archer's even asking the court to disqualify Joby from the federal programs. Honestly the drama in this flying taxi industry is getting crazier than the actual tech sometimes. You following this or is it just me?
