Agreed about fixing the CO2 issue that is easy, just takes time.

Sure but Mars has and abundance of resources that the moon doesn't that are important for an industrial society.

FSD should be ready by 2017, too. Car will drive itself across the country without intervention. Personally I can't wait for 2017 to finally get here.
Once you realize who Musk is and how he operates, you start to see the size of his grifts. He's spent his entire business life lying to get investors and government funds. For some reason, silly people still believe the things he says.

Now you just talking crazy. I wouldn't exactly call that lying, it's not unsual for business targets not to be reached for a variety of different reasons. No matter how smart or prepared you are, sometimes things don't work out they way you wanted them. Pandemic also didn't help amongst probably a lot of other things. Holy crap your threshold is high
