> But what can he do with that money that he couldn't already?

Go to Mars.

Great irony that his moment of maximum leverage with DOGE was spent slashing basic research.

It would be great if he stopped talking about it and would go ahead and do it.

Yeah you may not want that - Musk’s plan to get to mars involves, not necessarily _intentionally_ but with no attempt to avoid, ruining the earth for everyone else. He and his billionaire friends that want to colonize space have said they intend to do it by any means necessary, including by walking on the backs of us poors, if it means their progeny can outlast the rest of earth.

Mars' gravity is 0.39 of Earth's. I don't understand how anyone thinks that can support a permanant colony of humans.

And killer dust almost as bad as on the moon. And lots of radiation.

[didgetmaster → Projectiboga]

The gravity difference is probably the least problematic issue with living on Mars.

Is that still his goal though?

I used to believe he was a good person actually thinking about the best for humanity (although going to Mars is not the way to do that IMO). But then he turned full nazi so yeah...
