I suppose he became a gazillionaire for “thinking out of the box” or whatnot. But did he just get really lucky? Because the dude strikes me as a bit of a nut.
Tesla dude and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk wants to nuke Mars.
Nuke Mars!

Surely I’m missing something here, right?
What in the HELL is he talking about?!
According to Fox News:
Musk has posited the contentious idea before. In 2015, Musk told Stephen Colbert in an appearance on his television show that in order to make the planet habitable for colonists, the easiest way to insert greenhouse gases and warm the Red Planet would be to drop nuclear weapons on its poles.
Oh.
Holy crap. So it’s for real?
Musk appears to be serious about putting a colony on Mars, an idea he first proposed in 2016. In 2018, he tweeted that a colony on the Red Planet could happen by 2028.
Probably 2028 for a base to be built

Sign me up. As long as I can take my dog and my husband and a phone to call my mama with. I’m tired of this world.
The 48-year-old Musk, who in addition to running SpaceX also heads up Tesla, has been known for his aggressive timelines that often miss their initial deadlines.
In 2018, NASA-backed research said that it was not possible to terraform Mars using present-day technology. “Transforming the inhospitable Martian environment into a place astronauts could explore without life support is not possible without technology well beyond today’s capabilities,” the space agency said in a release.
Whatever. I’m in. Beam me up, Elon!
