## Enigmatic Elon

When SpaceX's Starship heads to Mars in 2022, its payload could include a Tesla Cybertruck. Maybe.

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been [hinting](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/elon-musk-send-tesla-cybertruck-space>) that his companies might once again team up to [send a car into space](<https://futurism.com/worst-case-scenario-space-roadster>) — and depending on how you interpret one of his latest tweets, it's starting to look even more likely that a Cybertruck could be [headed to the Red Planet](<https://insideevs.com/news/390548/tesla-cybertruck-built-for-mars/>).

## Open to Interpretation

In November 2019, Musk [declared](<https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1197627433970589696>) via Twitter that a pressurized version of Tesla's Cybertruck would be the "official truck of Mars." The following month, he noted in [another tweet](<https://www.inverse.com/article/61625-tesla-cybertruck-on-spacex-starship>) that Starship would have the payload capacity for a Cybertruck.

Then, on December 29, a Twitter user straight up asked Musk if a Cybertruck will be on board the 2022 Starship mission. His [response](<https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1211418500868247557>)? A single emoji: 😎

None of this is exactly a definitive confirmation, but right now, it seems one of the following *is* certain: either SpaceX is seriously considering sending a Cybertruck into space, or Musk really enjoys trolling people with the idea.
