Why It Matters:  The article shared by Musk talked about the rise of mammals after dinosaurs were decimated by a six-mile wide (10 km) asteroid that hit present-day Mexico with a force of more than a billion nuclear bombs.

Musk is a proponent of settlement on Mars in order to extend the “probable lifespan” of humanity. 

He said in April, “I think we’ve really just got this little candle of consciousness like a small light in the void and we don’t want that small candle in a vast darkness to be put out.”

More recently, he said, “Mars may be a fixer-upper of a planet, but it has great potential.”

Price Action: On Monday, Tesla shares closed 1.1% lower at $284.82 in the regular session and gained 0.4% in extended trading, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
