This is an English translation of an article I wrote for a German magazine. The article looks into the post apocalyptic strategies the wealthy and ultrarich are focusing on. Main point: The rich are as afraid of the collapse of society as anyone else, but their means to face the calamity are on another level.
Elon Musk says he wants to go to Mars to save the “seed of humanity”. Ummm… save the current planet instead of dreaming about living in space. No grass, trees, animals, nature, breathable air. Takea half a year to get there and the gravity is different.
It is atupid to think Mars is any kind of option. He will spend the rest of his money on his rockets rather than improving the world around him.
Let’s just get Elon Musk to Mars and decide from there.
