A way for him to suckle the udder of the tax payer and claim the glory of other people's labour and ability.
He has no interest in being able to control himself for years at a time, nor is he interested in solving the difficult problems of such a long deep space endeavour. If he were, then he'd be cooperative and disciplined, and try to make progress in this area.
So you're saying that SpaceX is all a government handout scheme, but that it also has produced glory?
Furthermore you're saying that since SpaceX isn't working on problems of habitation and deep space survival that he's not serious about Mars?
Is that right?
