Launched into space back in 2018, Elon Musk's personal Tesla Roadster continues to 'drive' around the universe as it floats across the cosmos. And it is pretty eye-opening to think about just how far the vehicle has gone as it meanders around the cosmic void that is space.

Musk, who also runs SpaceX and a number of other companies, has been known to make big often exaggerated promises. For example, he once called the Hyperloop, which was never built, the "fifth mode of transport" and famously promised to take Tesla private in a Twitter post, saying he had secured financing that he didn't have.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, slated to visit the United States this month to meet President Donald Trump, is also likely to see Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. The world’s richest man is reported to be part of a select group of CEOs who will meet PM Modi on February 13.

Tesla ( TSLA 2.22%) shares initially shrugged off a weak earnings report before the stock got caught in the trade-war sell-off. The electric vehicle (EV) maker had a tough year in 2024, although Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk continues to be very upbeat about the future.
