On the scale of time and things, his endeavours are significant. It is of extreme importance that we colonise mars. That is the single maxim by which I will judge Elon. He might me manipulative but he's not on the wrong side of humanity.

> It is of extreme importance that we colonise mars

Is it? Such a moonshot ( Marsshot if you will) requires enormous resources, resources which can be better spent to improve the planet we have, and stop the damage we're doing to it. I don't believe all of humanity can move to and sustain on Mars within a reasonable timeframe and budget ( 100 years, tens trillions of dollars). What exactly is the point of doing so? To run away from the mess on Earth? That's a very shit "solution" and a huge waste IMO.

I think keeping the earth livable outranks living on a distant, hostile, desert planet. Mars is a close second, I'll give you that
