I liked Elon 90% of the time 5 years ago. Now honestly I don’t want him to build a whites only mars base.

5 years ago?

7 years ago he called Vernon Unsworth a pedophile. That was enough for me.

N.K. Jemisin's SF short story Emergency Skin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Skin) is pretty much this.
Do you really think it will be whites only?
I'm sure they will carve out exceptions for Uncle Toms like Vivek Ramaswamy, but if they get too uppity they'll be tossed out the airlock.

I do because the Earth would be rid of him and we could maybe have at least 1 slow news day.

This might be the worst cost benefit tradeoff I’ve heard of.
