He's going to be loaded onto one of his rockets to Mars whether it is ready or not by an angry mob someday. Or he's going to go into a bunker and never come out.

I can't wait until these assholes all head to the big luxury resort on Mars.

Nobody sniffs their own farts a deeply and satisfyingly as a Sociopathic Oligarch, and it causes them to become arrogant on a mentally-ill level, and they are only getting worse. They will believe that their little Mars project for the ultra wealthy is the peak of human progress, but they will underestimate its dangers, both from the environment, and from outside forces.

Once they're up there, and we're down here, we can cut them off, and they'll be stuck up there. It will take decades for them to create a Mars-based economy to replace what they had on Earth. Without Earth dwellers to exploit, they'll start stealing from each other, causing their own class warfare.

And for every second they remain on Mars, they are at the mercy of an environment that is far more inhospitable that anywhere on Earth. If the dome gets breached, it is all over for them, and there will be constant attacks. Eventually one will succeed.

They can't to Mars soon enough.

I wish more people had seen Don't Look Up so we could reference the ending at times like this.

Plus, the AI was actually right in the movie. We don't even get that.
