Launching money into space 11 4, 10:47am

@Narf
The same company that launched this one. This mission (and the vast bulk of SpaceX's business) was a "routine" Falcon 9 launch.
The Falcon Heavy was an experimental launch (with a relatively high probability of blowing up), and as such, no company would pay to put a payload on it. SpaceX, however, did need to have weight on the rocket to test it, so instead of a boring concrete slab, they decided to have a little fun with it (and gain massive publicity to boot) with the car stunt.
