I'm pretty convinced he only really cares about asteroid mining and colonizing mars is just marketing.
Building up the infrastructure for asteroid mining is really the only thing tying all his companies together.
- Boring company: we need to dig tunnels for mines
- Hyper loop: we need to move minerals and miners through the mines
- Satellite internet, electric vehicles, reusable rockets. This is all self explanatory.
Plus his family history of mining.

- ants_everywhere 2y agoIf someone successfully mines an asteroid in our lifetime, it would probably make them a trillionaire. Not only is that a lot of money, it cements their place in history.
