He’s not. He’s a bloviating idiot with no idea about what he’s talking about. He’s been able to look smart by throwing money at problems, but going to Mars is going to be a money pit for him.
I have no idea why NASA still contracts with him. We can’t talk about Jack Parsons, because he was besties with Crowley and did sex rituals to summon the AntiChrist (which just makes him cooler IMHO) - but Muskrat can do whatever he wants.
I'm banking on him not making it there, and if he does, it was a one way trip.
The mission to mars will be well after he builds the hyper loop across California, US, and Tesla implements full self driving. In other words, it's something he told investors to secure their investment for something shorter term, while making it sound like he's thinking far into the future.
And if he ever does sacrifice some suckers to keep up appearances, I don't think he'd put up his hand to be one of them!
I kinda expect a lot of people will come to regret going, seeing as it's a dead nearly-airless rock too far from Earth for synchronous communication, so he can go first, that's fine.
He doesn’t deserve to go to Mars before NASA
