Moron Muskrat is claiming to get a self-sustaining colony on Mars by 2050 ... but his Tesla cars are bug-ridden horror stories (especially the idiotic Autopilot), so it's more likely the "colony" will have numerous problems and all the people will die within weeks. Hopefully Muskrat will be of that first group of people to go!

Isn't his sports convertible already waiting there for him??

 Nope. According to a tracking website:
     The car is 279,259,114 miles (449,424,119 km, 3.004 AU,
    24.99 light minutes) from Mars, moving away from the
    planet at a speed of 13,008 mi/h (20,934 km/h, 5.81 km/s).
