This is a normal post Man heavily invested in future off-planet colonisation worried that reduction in birth rate might allow Earth to remain habitable.
Shocker.

What makes our civilisation so important, anyway? If anything we're at odds against everything else on the planet, we're hardly maintaining the equilibrium - far from it. I don't think we're going to be missed when our species finally succumbs to disease/war/asteroid/duck revolution.

This is a normal post Well, yes. That too.
Although, I think that thanks largely in part to Sci-Fi, people tend to assume that a mini exodus to another hostile planet 34 million miles away (along with all the raw materials and consumables to sustain the ~500 lucky souls on their journey and to build the requisite facilities to successfully continue repopulation on planetfall) is somehow a far more realistic prospect than just building practically identical contained habitats here on our poisoned earth.

Mind you, I can absolutely see 500ish of the world's super-rich buggering off to Mars to start their new Utopia once things start to get really shit. So maybe he's not that deluded. Although, he'll have been dead a few years by then, unless he's planning on freezing himself or transferring his consciousness into a robot. Again, not a completely bonkers concept when you're discussing Musk.

This is a normal post Yes, fantasists and children of all ages, love to imagine they can.
It's much easier than cleaning up the mess, that is left to the adults.

As for the super rich, give it a couple of weeks on a spacecraft and they'll be fighting each other for supremacy, who has the biggest willy/diamond/ego/whatever.

This is a normal post Elon's what I call Intelligent-stupid.
I'm a Starlink beta tester, and it's flawless. It has spared me from what has been a 25 year long series of horrible satellite internet "providers". But some of his ideas are loopy. Why even consider colonizing other planets when we can't even live like proper humans on Earth.

This is a normal post Why?
Well the calling charges would be prohibitively expensive so you'd be free from spam phone calls.
As one of the first colonists you could probably represent your planet in sport at an interplanetary level regardless of your actual level of ability. I mean sure, food, water and heat would be your priorities but there'd be other benefits.

This is a normal post I like trees.
But the idea of holding the Mars MMA championship belt does sound appealing.

This is a normal post Is CNBC for children? Like CBBC or CITV?
I think Musk just believes in the system a little too much. Billionaires tend to, I think, since it has been so good to them.

I'm suspicious when someone starts talking about 'our civilisation'. They are rarely talking about human civilisation as a whole.

This is a normal post Just because someone is intelligent in one area doesn't mean they are in others.
He needs to realise this. Unfortunately a massive ego and narcissistic traits means he won't.
