@LALegault So it was all about money...
That wasn’t obvious?
@LALegault Musk doesn't always do things for money.
Fair. His Spaces with guests are almost exclusively used that way. He did it for Andrew Tate when he needed legal defence money too.
@LALegault Do you know why he wants to establish a self sustaining Mars colony?
Money as I don't think musk cares about science
@zleap @LALegault Nope. He wants humanity's eggs in multiple baskets in case one of them gets destroyed for some reason. The others can then rebuild the destroyed one. With no backups, civilization could be destroyed by a large meteor. Heck, even climate change could destroy it. This has been the plan for over 20 years now. It won't finish in his lifetime. Many others are also in on the project.
Well that seems a far more positive view on this, As long as Musk does not try and run a colony like he runs X
@zleap @LALegault There is a series of books he likes the government style from. I'm not so sure it will work. Who knows.
