From Fortune:

Elon Musk, owner of SpaceX, shares about his philosophy and ambition for humans in a conversation with Ben Shapiro. He believes in expanding consciousness on Earth and beyond, with the goal of creating a self-sustaining city on Mars and populating the solar system. Musk also advocates for a trillion humans living in the solar system.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who owns Blue Origin, supports Musk’s vision of a larger human population in the solar system and emphasizes the importance of creating space infrastructure for future generations to build upon. Both billionaires share similar space ambitions despite their intense rivalry in the space industry.

Musk’s belief in expanding consciousness and humanity’s presence in the universe is reflected in SpaceX’s goal of creating a city on Mars. He acknowledges the possibility that the window of opportunity for achieving a self-sustaining presence on another planet may be limited and urges forward action in this direction.
