These are the same people that let him fire a car into orbit around Mars with an "empty" space suit in the driver's seat.

Wdym "empty"? Did he sneak a person inside or something? I wouldn't put it past the guy.

Perfect way to get rid of a body.

That would be the news of the 24th century.

“The 21st century vehicle was rescued for placement in the Mars History Museum. DNA testing has confirmed that the man in the digital dark ages era space suite is in fact the formerly unknown half brother of Elon Musk. Mr. Musk is primarily remembered for creating the Xitter we know today. The xit posted by scientists is popping with more than 4 billion bursts around the two worlds. If you enjoy our content, don’t forget to link your brain, think hard about that like button, and focus on that bell for notifications.”

Apart from every single gram of weight having to be accounted for when you're talking about rocketry.

I get the joke, but it's the perfect way to have a body never found again. There would be many times during the whole thing he could have been caught if he had in fact done so. Think there are a few better ways to get rid of a body with less eyes on the situation.

Yeah, but would it be in a egocentric Musk way?
