Elon is a Martian. Or he will be. But first he needs to create Martian culture, from scratch unfortunately, there being a distinct shortage of original Martians to crib from.
I’m thinking of the “Martian Chronicles” (Ray Bradbury) sort of Martian, the immigrant, assimilating sort. A guy with Aspergers is the ideal candidate. Aspergers with an imagination is way better.
So one can adopt a system of communal nests (see Burroughs) for hatchlings, not a human nuclear family. And there is this ruthlessness among fictional Martians that’s not that far off Musk’s own ruthlessness.
Robert Heinlein would have understood Musk perfectly. And appreciated him intensely.
