No. He's a nerd weirdo who is on a power trip because his fortune grants him power and respect. He will likely die with none of his current dreams realized

No. He's an idealist with a limited supply of money. We aren't going to Mars. Once his money dries up I doubt anyone will replace him, and since there is no profit to be made on going to Mars, or space exploration in general, then we won't do it. The same reason we haven't gone anywhere since 1971.

History will revere him should he continue to secure grants and make steady progress. It's a precarious road ahead of him, though.

Elon only said he wanted to "get the ball rolling". He hasn't exactly laid out plans for grand galactic imperialism.

Isnt he charging a couple of people a shit ton to take a trip around the moon?

10 years ago SpaceX had nothing.

Now they have sci-fi returning rockets.

He's going to do it.

That's one of the reasons why you are not flying there.
