"You know what happened for me? I started hating him when he put a Tesla in space with a David Bowie song on it. He actually shot a car into space. As if there wasn't enough s**t floating around.""
"In February 2018, Musk launched his electric sports car Tesla Roadster into space as part of the payload on his Falcon Heavy test flight, which was operated by his aerospace company, SpaceX. The car featured a human mannequin, named "Starman" after Bowie's 1972 song of the same name, in the driver's seat. The car played Bowie's 1969 and 1971 hits "Space Oddity" and "Life on Mars?" on a loop on the radio during its ascent."

In February 2018 Musk placed a Tesla Roadster aboard a Falcon Heavy test flight, featuring a mannequin dubbed "Starman" and looping Bowie's 'Space Oddity' and 'Life on Mars?' on the radio. Musk was already a controversial billionaire and later became known for espousing right-wing views. Calls for democracy in space and Earth were made, along with criticism of commercial control over natural resources and of dangerous, tacky stunts that could endanger astronauts.
