The one thing you can say though, is that “benefits himself” does not mean: buying a super yacht, a casino, an island, etc.

So yeah, he’d YOLO and do the Mars trip before any of the above. Which is what most nerds on HN would love, except their blind hatred for Musk would make them despise even that.

He’s certainly said things to deserve some hatred. I’m also lost why anyone thinks his mars trip is real. He has a long history of promising and not delivering.

Blind hatred? Given that, among a multitude of other things, he willingly threw out some sieg heils I think the hatred was easily earned.

I only support a Mars trip if he takes it one-way

There's no way in hell I'd even remotely consider trying to build a Mars base if i had all that money, either. It's a fucking stupid way to waste money.
