Good grief, I really wish Musk and Xitter would both fuck off to Mars. I’m so tired of hearing about that asshole, and I have no idea why anyone is still using that dumpster fire of a platform.
He’ll never go to Mars. He’s too much of a coward to get on one of his own rockets. I mean fuck Bezos, but at least he was willing to put his money where his mouth was and go up on a Blue Origin flight very quickly.
Not that much risk with just going straight up and falling back in an oversized bottle rocket. I’d do it. LEO and beyond is a different story.
Also I think Musk’s plan may have been to send indentured servants on a one way colonization trip, I don’t remember him actually saying he himself will be going. The oligarchs are starting to eyeball the unfathomable wealth scattered through the solar system as Earth gets squeezed dry. Get ready now for the classic robber barons, but now iiiiinnn spaaaaaace.
He’s literally bought the social media platform that Trump used to control the (inter)national discourse for four years and modified its algorithm to suit his interests. He’s copied Trump’s tactics of maintaining media coverage by pushing out enough insane shit to capture the daily news cycle attention. His notoriety comes from his wealth and not an elected office, so we will never stop hearing about him for as long as he owns twitter and the media has the attention span of a gnat.

FWIW, he has said he wants to “die on Mars”.
What an idiot. Mars fucking sucks. It’s an inhospitable desert world.
Oh well, then who am I to argue? Let’s hope for an engine failure on landing then…
How do we speed that wish up for him?
