If nothing else, we can be sure of one thing: Elon Musk will never be involved in the trip to Mars (except in his own tiny little fantasies).
I know, it does nothing to help out situation here at home, but the more this country can untangle its economy from monsters like Trump & Musk, the better. It's already taken more than 20 years for us to resolve the wars started by Dubya (Dubya might've prevented 9/11 if he had only heeded security warnings from the previous administration).
