We currently have 0 people on the moon.

The Antarctica population peaks at about 5,000, which is a paradise compared to Mars, with drinkable water and breathable air. It even has naturally occurring food! You can get there with a mere boat!

One million people on Mars within our lifetimes is a total fantasy. Like the Nigerian Prince emails, its main purpose is to identify marks.

Elon and his company was sued when he delivered on one of his previous compensation tied to moonshot never gonna happen things.

> Elon and his company was sued when he delivered

"When" is inaccurate. The original shareholder vote for Musk's 2018 compensation plan was on 2018-03-18. Tornetta was filed on 2018-06-05, well before the first tranche vested in 2020.

I may be overly-generous to the guy (bad habit, billionaires don't need or benefit from best-faith interpretations of the stuff they do, leads to sycophancy), but I think this may be more like grandiose delusion than a 419 scam.

The continual promises of full-self-driving, however, those definitely seem like a 419: up-front fees for promises never delivered on, repeated again with newer better hardware. What version is the hardware on now?
