Sometimes I think about how Musk keeps saying he's going to colonize mars even though he's obviously incapable of doing that.
And I think about what a capitalist hellscape a martian colony would actually be if it was led by someone like Musk.
The worst scifi plot devices (paying for air, radiation sickness from improperly shielded domes, etc.) all seem pretty likely with someone like Musk in charge.
