@georgetakei ... InMyOwnPersonalOpinion ...
Musk looks like he is beginning to waste away physically. His face seems drawn & damp from stress, no sleep and/or poor diet (or MEGA guilt).
We can only wait & see.

@georgetakei Please, just let him go and take his DOGE goons with him. Let's stop trying to dissuade him.

@georgetakei an actual life insurance for the human species would be to get rid of the likes of Elon Musk

@georgetakei He and Don should go and set up their über mensch colony. We'll be right behind with food and medicine (snicker).

@georgetakei Plot twist: the Martians hate him just as much and send him back to Earth..

@georgetakei i don't now... Musk going to Mars would actually save a lot of people...
Content Warning
@georgetakei Let's send him to Mars with basic supplies and let him stay there - with no wage slaves, no public resources to steal, and no one else's work and ideas to co-opt and pass off on his own. How long do you think he'll last?

@georgetakei „Musk‘s plan to save humanity- go to Mars” Well, Elon that’s a great idea. Please go to Mars and many is won for mankind. And don’t come back for heaven’s sake.

@georgetakei Bon voyage, Elon! Don't let the airlock hit you in the ass on your way out.

@georgetakei So support the destruction of the earth environment so that you can sell insurance. In the end all you have is money. Nothing else. He will always be a blind man.

He's a poor communicator, and is wrong on his timespan for earth becoming non-viable.
We have about a billion (not million) years - give or take a billion - before the earth is uninhabitable for human life as we know it. Maybe much less if we keep doing stupid things to destroy our environment, but that's a different problem.
The goal is to remove humanity's dependency on this single planet for survival. Thing is - that's a 10,000+ year goal. It won't happen in our lifetimes and needs tons of technology not invented yet. Hell - we can't keep humans alive in an enclosed biosphere on earth for a year without cheating.
Mars is seen as a logical next step - we've landed robots there, and we've walked on the moon. But there's a ton of work between here and man-on-mars he's glossing over, like "long-term survival without supply from earth". A manned mars mission requires survival in an enclosed ecosystem for 3-5 years, minimum, and more like a decade with a safety factor. That's not a viable thing today.
We should be working on sustainability and not polluting our own ecosphere, and long-term orbital habitats if we seriously want to send people to mars without it being suicide. But slow and steady doesn't get much attention or funding.
Yes - mars isn't a place fit for human habitation, and probably never will be. But the technology we develop in that effort will reap all sorts of benefits for the real world. Science is worth doing.
My take? If we can get orbital self-sustained habitats really nailed down in the next few thousand years, then the whole solar system becomes our playground given enough time. Living in comfort and safety in an orbital and visiting mars is a lot better than being forced to live on the surface.

@georgetakei He’s betting that nobody bothering to listen to him has any real grasp of the time scales he’s talking about, and that’s probably a fair bet…

@georgetakei Well, there is the famous Tsiolkovsky quote about Earth being the cradle of humanity, but one cannot stay in its cradle forever.
But before we colonize Mars, there would be many simpler places around first: The poles, the Marianas trench, the deserts, most of Russia....

Being dependend on high technology may end the world due to some EMP like sun outbreaks when enought nuclear power plants are affected.
However, when mankind is present in two plants within our solar system this may split the absolute risk.
On the other hand, a free city colony that survived with the mindset of Musk is not the best thing for the entire universe in a long term perspective.

I read somewhere that he was going to build the first settlement on Mars and name it after himself.
Asshole City it is, then.

@georgetakei The way to save humanity does not involve inhabiting a plant that has zero life sustaining stuff like an atmosphere, a magnet field, water, a carbon cycle, fuck all.
I have a better and feasible plan that would go a long way towards saving humanity. Eliminate the billionaires.

Imagine how run-down Earth has to be to make Mars look like an attractive place.
Content Warning
@georgetakei My take is decades old propaganda to distract from how incompetent, bigoted, callous and greedy he really is. The date on this is from over 13 years ago - said he would put a man on mars in 10 years.
Content Warning
@georgetakei It's a good plan and we should encourage Musk to travel to Mars immediately. And take the other billionaires with him.
And then pretend that communication has been lost...

@georgetakei I read the banner, optimistically, as he was leaving Earth and going to Mars, thus saving humanity.
A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
