Look here, Musk is a super villain, he lives in a lair, he fires interplanetary rockets, he gives flamethrower to his henchmen (all 10,000 of them...), he dates and gets dumped by the hottest actress on the planet...
So, when he goes a *step too far* and his robots take over the world or whatever, don't you think he would have thought ahead and put a freaking ESCAPE CAR in space??? One quick rocket escape pod up there, and he's cruising away from the Robot Wars safe and sound...with a 100 mile range
