Elon Musk , a billionaire Bond villain whowants to nuke Mars , revealed in a late audience that he ’s occupy a third World War might mess up up his plan to colonize Mars .
In a profile withGQ , Musk talked details on a bunch of his pet undertaking : Hyperloop , Tesla , space suits , and of course , going to Mars . He sees it as a moral responsibilty of mankind to establish an outstation on another planet — sort of like second up your reckoner , only 54.6 million kilometres aside . The technical detail do n’t seem to bother him too much — he ’s more interested about what will bechance here on Earth to corrupt his plans :
I think of , I do n’t think we can push aside the possibility of a third World War . You know , in 1912 they were proclaiming a new historic period of peace and successfulness , saying that it was a golden age , war was over . And then you had World War I followed by World War II espouse by the Cold War . So I think we need to recognise that there ’s certainly a possibility of a third World War , and if that does occur it could be far worse than anything that ’s happened before .
The full consultation is well worth say : as ever , Musk comes across as a engineer hellbent on improving the Earth , with only the slightest hint of a megalomaniac supervillain .
