Why are all of these humans miserable? What about the regular ones, ya know the ones who don't care and just enjoy life.
Maybe some day we could terraform earth and make it habitable
We just need to send Elon to Mars and then we’ll be happy here on Earth.
Honestly...as long as I get to go to space, idc how awful it is. If I have to be enslaved to Musk just to see the stars for myself, then I'll be a slave. It's the one dream I'd do anything to fulfill, but unfortunately I was born with a couple of defects that prevented me from even having a chance as an astronaut. Sure, letting a crazy techno-fascist ignore safety regulations to setup interplanatary neo-feudalism is ostensibly bad, but I want off this rock so badly I'm willing to make a deal with any devil.
What if we ... socioformed our planet first, so we don't so malignantly infest others?
Anyone played The Outer Worlds? I expect that's about what would happen if you joined Musk in colonizing another planet. i.e. a hypercapitalist (post-capitalist?) dystopia.
That would be a new whole level of miserable! Since Elons great innovation is somewhat reusable rockets and hauling unnecessary constructionary materials is silly (especially so if it cost 50 billions usd to get one adult there), you would get to live in comfy hole in the ground!

Belta lowda!
We can't even exist on Earth without fucking up what makes it inhabitable.
One stray bullet and the entire farm gets asphyxiated
Gun control is useless, it would never work! :D
One of very many different reasons why extraterrestrial habitats are not built in this manner.
