MODERATORS
He should be remembered as the guy who brought a car to space. Like, what the hell is he going to do, drive somewhere? A prime example of Elon wasting time, resources, and energy.
Not really, it was a publicity stunt for sure, but it was that or a tank of water/block of concrete/some other mass simulator.
The real crime is the space pollution. Not the other aspects, they were needed for validating the rocket.
Now that you mention it, probably a tank of water might have actually been useful to someone. Like send it off on a path to the moon or mars. Or the ISS.
He did it purely to spite the actual founders of Tesla, whose car that was supposed to be. There was a long legal battle over the first cars off the line, and because Musk has always been a giant pissbaby, he decided to send it into space as a "There, now no one can have it" move.
Honestly, I already forgot the stunt existed. It just never resonating as anything that mattered.
