Musk is a grifter. He’s saying these things to get money from governments. He’s funding masturbatory billionaire fantasies with taxpayer money, while those same taxpayers are struggling to afford food, housing, and education.
SpaceX is doing great work, i just hope he’s not running it…

note that the source for this quote was a Washington Post link which is now 404 but which you can see from the URL was from 2016 (as is the question linked in this post).
the graph from 2016 until present is funny; it's gone from 80% likely at the start of 2020 to just 1% today
…but, note that the question of landing anything there by 2030 is still at 60%!
