Elon Musk Is Sending a Tesla to Mars

If Loki, that merry prankster, hailed from South Africa rather than Norway, I suspect he might look a lot like Elon Musk.

Earlier this month, founder of start-up space-launch company SpaceX took to the Twitter-ways once again to announce his latest trademark PR stunt. As the SpaceX founder (and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO) explained, when SpaceX's new Falcon Heavy rocket makes its maiden voyage early next year, it will be carrying very special cargo: Musk's personal cherry-red Tesla Roadster sports car.

This Tesla will go from zero to Mach 32.6 in a few minutes. Image source: Tesla.
