I would go further than that and say that he is 100% about the goal of his businesses. Which is the spread the use of electric cars and colonize Mars. I’m no tree hugger, more of a tech person, but I can see a Model Y in my future very soon.
On top of that, things like Starlink are going to change the Internet service providing world. I can’t wait to tell my cable provider to kiss my ass.
Not really. I mean people want to go to Mars but there is really no real reason to other than being the first.
The minerals are all on easy to get to asteroids. Its damn hard to get to mars and land let alone return witch is 100 times harder. Why deal with that when you can just mine a rock already in space? They never will.
As for living on another planet you can forget about that too. The surface of mars is hard to land on because of the atmosphere but offers none of the benefits atmospheres should. The radiation is the same as being in deep space pretty much and the gravity isn't much more that the moon. Way to low to live on permanently.
Were gonna live inside giant rotating cylinders if we ever live anywhere else but earth. Only way to simulate Earth. They can even build them on the moon which does make sense to live on since its so close to earth and you can catapult back/ actually mine.
I think his goal with space colonization is more in line with jump starting the centuries long process of terraforming planets like mars, Venus etc and colonizing space.
There certainly is a long term need for it in my mind. It won’t be completed in any of our life times but the start is just getting there.
There will be no terraforming. It takes too long and too much energy. Its easier to do much greater works in way less time. Venus we would have to remove most of the atmosphere and somehow cool it way down. Mars will never have a magnetic field required to keep an atmosphere from blowing away and to keep you safe from radiation and will never be a good place to live or harvest for resources.
Tesla is a little different since it’s a public company. The reason SpaceX isn’t public is because his goal is to colonize Mars. Starlink is going to exist purely for funding Mars missions. SpaceX won’t go public until Musk is long gone.
It’s okay to be skeptical. But if you think about it, the main goal of Musk is to colonize Mars and the main way he is going to pay for that is through Starlink. This man made rockets that can land upright, I’m confident he can make and ISP. It’s going to be a very cool future we live in.
What I am waiting for. Been getting fucked by the telecom companies for to many years, govt has given them so much free money and they still fuck the consumer. Overcharged if you live in the city, fucked with some crap 5Mbps trash if you don't.

That is the ultimate goal… and the Minerals on Mars.

I'm very skeptical about Starlink..... but I could be wrong.

The rest of the world will be colonizing us, if Biden is President.
