John Legere, the outspoken and colorful CEO of T-Mobile, has promised that he will send some people to Mars if a certain condition is fulfilled. John Legere has launched a contest on Twitter in the celebration of completing the milestone of 3 million followers that has a SpaceX trip to Mars as the top prize. When John Legere joined the T-Mobile, then initially people thought that he is from Mars due to its colorful and outspoken behavior. Now in response to that John Legere is thanking everyone for believing in him in an out-of –this world way. When John first broke into telecommunication scenes it was obvious that people would feel that he is from another planet due to his character not fitting into the pattern of CEO that we usually found in the CEOs of other companies. This promise of Mars trip will be fulfilled only if this tweet of Mars trip will get one million retweets by October 11.
John Legere trip plan
– On the completion of 10,000 retweets to his post, he will give away a free flight to few selected people to anywhere in the United States.
– After the completion of 50,000 retweets, John will send out a zero-gravity chair.
– At the 100,000 retweets, he will give the lucky winner a zero-gravity experience.
– Finally, at 1 million retweets, a free trip will be given away to Mars on SpaceX rocket.
All the details of the Mars trip were posted on Facebook. The free flight will come in the form of airline credit of $800 to any of the United States location. In case the prize for a free trip to Mars will not be commercially available by SpaceX’s promised the year of 2024 or 2025, then the winner will be provided with the amount of $200,000. According to reports, after hearing the proclaim of SpaceX CEO, Elan Musk that the Mars travel will be soon possible at the ticket price of $200,000 Legere simply said: “Let’s send someone to Mars”. In a speech in September, Elon musk made this claim at the International Astronautical Congress in Mexico. According to Elon Musk, a million people will be living on Mars within 40 to 100 years. He also unveiled the Interplanetary Transport System at the event that according to Musk would be capable of carrying and transporting 100 passengers to the planet in a single trip. The sweepstakes winners will be declared on Oct 12. It will take a lot of publicity to get the mentioned retweets as there have been only 5700 retweets at the time of writing.
