But then, acting within the confines of normality isn't really the trait that may bring the dawn of a new era of humanity.

Truly, this sounds divorced from the reality of anything Elon Musk is involved in. He’s making electric cars, rockets, and solar panels, not fusion power or immortality pills. Let’s be realistic! I think it’s important to separate what he actually does from what you desperately hope he may someday do.

If colonizing a new planet isn't a new era of humanity, I'm not sure what is...

Do you credit Musk with coming up with the idea of getting to Mars?

He hasn't colonised a new planet, and frankly my wager is that he never will.

He's never going to colonize mars. It's not possible with out current level of technology.

He might kill a bunch of people trying.
