Actually given that the first colonists on Mars will live pretty miserable lives before dying early of radiation poisoning Musk and Co are trying to recruit other people to move there.

No they aren't. They're trying to design robots that can build the habit for them before they arrive and pamper them once they are there.

Musk has repeatedly talked about how he wants to go to Mars.
