I still want to go to Mars, but not if Elon Musk punches the ticket:

"It's not just Musk. The same goes for all the self-declared rationalists and tech-bro billionaires who think they're head and shoulders above the common herd. Far too many of them prove to be con artists, like Sam Bankman-Fried, or swollen with lethal hubris, like Stockton Rush, or wannabe mad scientists who believe that rules are for little people, like Marc Andreessen.

None of them are trustworthy. None of them have wisdom to match their wealth or their lofty rhetoric. If we're going to go to Mars—and, for the record, I do hope we eventually go to Mars—it shouldn't be the private vanity project of a billionaire. It should be a shared commitment on behalf of all humanity, with only our best representatives selected for the mission."
