This sounds much more like a hypothetical supermax prison for supervillains than a desirable place to live.

Living in a hollowed out asteroid sounds like a special kind of hell.

(Also what is an MSG in this context?)

Mobile Suit Gundam, a japanese cartoon from the late 70's. It envisions a future where the majority of the earth's population has been forcibly relocated to such colonies, while the rich and powerful remain on earth.

In a sad way, that’s really optimistic. I’m pretty sure in a situation where the elite were demanding that most of the people on Earth be removed, that would imply death, not relocation to space.

No chance Bezos is going to pay to relocate anyone else to space.
