I'm not saying I agree/disagree with the parent, but I think if you view Musk's motivations though that lens OpenAI and Neuralink still make sense.

He seems to think AI is coming very soon and could destroy humanity if it isn't handled correctly. It would be hard to colonize Mars with humans if they are all extinct. Neuralink is part of his solution to AI.
