Well let me ask you if Elon Musk is doing any of the following

1) Bringing clean adequate sanitation to impoverished nations?
2) Helping to spread literacy?
3) Helping to end war?
4) Investing in research and development to get all the plastic out of our oceans?
5) Ending hunger or tackling obesity in the United States?

Not trying to troll here but from what I see of this man is nothing more than a bloated self absorbed ego. He's researching technologies that will destroy the jobs of millions and wasting resources to try and go to a dead planet to look at rocks.
