Defeatist? Elon is the one wanting to give up on this planet and start from scratch.

> And why is it the pro space people who need to stay on earth and save it, what about everyone else?

If we limit "pro-space people" to the billionaires sucking up all the oxygen in the room with their dick-waving, the "why do they need to save it" is obvious - they have the money to make a positive difference. Failing that though, if Papa Musk wants to blast himself off to Mars and die of radiation sickness, he's welcome to do so.

Elon's main argument is to become a multi planetary species, he's not arguing leaving earth for good at all.

Money does not magically fix people however much you want to believe that.
