Elon Musk’s next-gen Tesla Roadster is a next-gen dank meme

RIP Tesla. Long live the '96 Previa. Never mind that the Tesla might literally be able to fly.

This image seems has spawned a meme comparing the Tesla to cheaper cars—and other, non-car products—that seem to offer superior performance if you only look at something as specific as "number of sunroofs."

The Tesla Roadster comparison meme is reminiscent of a recent iPhone X meme, which showed how much weird novelty crap you could buy for the price of one of Apple's new phones.

Meanwhile, an Instagram and Reddit poster who goes by "godemperormusk" has been single-handedly pushing Elon Musk memes for months, and it seems they're starting to gain a little traction now that the Tesla Roadster is a big thing. This Musk post was a big hit on Reddit's r/dankmemes forum on a day when Net Neutrality and the Federal Communications Commission dominated about 90 percent of the conversation:

At this point, all signs point to a bright future for Musk memes. They're going to the moon, if not to Mars.
