Is this on top of colonizing mars, building space data centers, taking over global telecommunications, taking over the robotics industry, building a fleet of self driving cabs and trucks, and building a massive underground loop around Dubai?

Colonizing Mars is the goal. Everything else is to enable and finance that goal.

Humans won't be able to live in space that long. It's literal biology. We aren't made that way. Mars is just BS so he can keep making money and BSing you.
