He'd be Emporer of Mars wouldn't he? In his own head at least.
If musk follows in Messners footsteps and attempts mars without oxygen I will be all for it
It’s all going to plan
He’s going to burn Twitter to the ground and destroy his own wealth in the process.

Nearly all of his wealth is from Tesla stock. It would be lovely if this glimpse into the madness of his mind saw most of that vanish.
Certainly. I’ve got nothing against daring and brave explorers/mountaineers, but at least these guys are leading the treks, not just planning them from a boardroom, (or talking half-assed about them on a stage full of fans). Musk doesn’t seem willing to go on the first flight to Mars, if at all.

The new owner of Twitter said in a statement on the day the deal closed that he “didn’t do it to make more money” but rather to “try to help humanity.” As part of the deal, Musk was personally responsible for paying roughly $25 billion, while venture capital firms Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz chipped in about $7.1 billion in cash. Additional investors picked up the remaining amount.
He's just an ideas person, like Jobs was...but it's a very expensive field that was the domain of govts but captured the imagination of the general public so he'll never be short on employees. We'll see what he's really like with the first highly publicized accident that causes a loss of life, because it WILL happen. I appreciate what they've done with the whole landing a rocket thing but there's no room for mistakes and avoiding them is damn near impossible.

Inappropriate Language
Just another tech fad/bust....would've died with or without out his involvement. Lotus 1-2-3, Novell Netware, America Online and a whole shytload of platforms all say hello.

Weirdly he doesn’t think companies should “think twice about entering the political arena” if they are donating to his campaign funds - just if they are exercising their free speech rights to reduce advertising on a platform.
