How can this aircraft be stable/maneuverable?
What strikes me is a lack of a surface that creates a force to
  counteract the moment generated by the distance between the wing's
  lift and the gravity force.


You are not alone. Believe it or not, Lilium contacted me for advice, and I asked them basically the same thing. They never responded.

I agree with you, this thing will never fly and investors will get burned.

My advice to them would be to sweep the wings forward. This allows to keep the fuselage basically unchanged - you don't want the main spar to go where the pilot sits. But given the small wings this needs substantial sweep.



Update to this answer, February 2020:

Now they have beefed up their canard and skipped retractability, but all they can show is hovering flight for a few minutes at most. Sill no aerodynamic flight. The 300 km range and hour long flight time still are impossible with near-term technology. My verdict stands: Investors will get burned.
