I think he needed a new talking point. I don’t think most people believe he will have Starship preparing a base on Mars in 2022 anymore.
Starship hasn’t even achieved orbital speed yet, and that was despite trying without a payload.
Elon musk is high on drugs and himself, and has completely lost it.TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 7 months ago

Going to Mars hasn’t been intangible since the 90s. The only thing holding it back is the cost. NASA could absolutely go if they had a $200B budget… mostly because they don’t spend their money wisely and waste shitloads on contracts with Boeing. They SHOULD be able to go to Mars with a $50B/year budget (current budget is in the $25B range), but government contracts are horrific.
A private company should be able to do it with $100B total price. But who wants to spend all that money?

I see. He wants to rule at least one planet.
