He'd create "company towns" on Mars. Everyone would die of course. Probably before getting there. Space exploration, if not done as a people, as a society under law, is going to turn into to space slavery or generally unsavory things. And let's say somehow it succeeds, eventually the successful colony will go its own way. But corporate space colonies? No thank you, very much.

@Nonya_Bidniss there are reasons there are many, many sci fi dystopias warning us about Corporate exploitation of Space, we don't need to repeat the crimes of Earth all over again.
Elon is the sort who reads about the Torment Nexus and goes 'cool, let's build it'

All these Tech Bros charlatans can stop stealing our dreams and spinning grifts from them!
