[Best when sung to the tune of “Froggy Went A Courting”]
The Man on Mars ain’t lookin’ at the stars
He’s thinkin’ ’bout wars
And how to power cars
There’s money to be made
In the inter-planet trade
Can’t wait to start the raid
The Man on Mars ain’t thinkin’ ’bout Earth
Cuz that tired old rock
Has lost all its worth
The Man on Mars ain’t there for humankind
He’s only there to mine
All the min’rals he can find
There’s money to be made
In the inter-planet trade
Can’t wait to start the raid
The Man on Mars is movin’ quick, you see
Cuz after pumm’ling Mars
It’s off to Mercury

There was a time I had a certain amount of respect for that man. Now he just reminds me of another fella who launched the world’s largest (anti)social-media page. Oh well.
I don’t actually have anything against Elon except that I believe he is demonizing AI just so he can get volunteers for a one-way-trip to colonize Mars. And I don’t actually have that big of problem with that either. Found this little diddy going through an old notebook from the Dubya years so i assume it was inspired by one of his innumerable inanities.
It was when he was focused on that colonizing trip to Mars that I had respect for him. It’s just that I no longer believe he’s that dedicated to that particular project. I still admire what he’s accomplished, I just think he got distracted.
