   The puff-piece article at NYTimes states that Elon's vision for Mars has "propelled nearly every business endeavor he has undertaken on Earth."

   The Boring Company - to burrow under Mars’s surface.
   X - to help test how a citizen-led government that rules by consensus might work on Mars.
   Cybertrucks - engineered for Mars inhabitants' driving pleasure.

   Musk must take his followers to be fools. Well ...
   🤦♂️

     Some planetary-scale gaslighting in this amateur puff-piece from the NYTimes on "Elon Musk’s Plan to Colonize Mars" -
     - 1 million inhabitants in 20 years
     - Cities, factories, farms
     - Starship with 100 passengers on 9-month trip, with running track and movie theater (do the math)
     - Thermonuclear explosions to warm the planet by creating artificial suns (what's he smoking?)
     - Solar panels by Tesla
     - The final piece of the puzzle - sperm by Musk!

     Mission accomplished!
