He could have put anything in it. Why not a celebration of the team that made it happen? Why not a celebration of humanity going into space once again? Why did it have to be a personal memento? Maybe I'm the one being naive now.

I think somewhere in the launch video they mentioned that the part of the payload that the roadster is mounted to also includes both a plaque with thousands of SpaceX employee names etched into it and a copy of Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" series on some 5D optical storage device called an Arch.

Darn. Time shortcut doesn't seem to work here. Payload info at 20m51s.
