SpaceX IPO Sparks Chaos as Investors Accidentally Buy Shares in a Used Tesla on Mars Instead
In a turn of events that even Elon Musk didn’t see coming, the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO went viral today after a botched algorithmic trading glitch caused thousands of eager investors to accidentally purchase fractional shares of a dented, 2018 Tesla Roadster that’s currently orbiting the sun. The irony? While everyone was scrambling to get in on the ground floor of the next space-age fortune, they instead bought a stake in a car that’s been drifting through the cosmos with a mannequin at the wheel. Memes are already flooding social media, with the car’s new “shareholders” demanding a board seat for the astronaut dummy. SpaceX hasn’t commented, but Musk reportedly tweeted, “To the moon? Actually, to the orbit of Elon’s old car.”
