If SpaceX is very successful he will spend everything on a mission to mars. He's pretty up front about this. If it costs a lot and the company runs at a loss then it costs a lot and the company runs at a loss. Read the S-1

> We believe that our current space efforts will catalyze transformative breakthroughs that could reshape terrestrial industries and lead to the emergence of new trillion-dollar markets on the Moon, Mars, and beyond. In particular, we believe our goal of establishing a lunar presence will enable terawatt-scale annual AI compute growth, support deeper space exploration and industrialization, and serve as a stepping stone to establishing a civilization on Mars.

There is no secret about this. If this scares you, do not invest. Mars is mentioned 60 times in there. That's what he's going to spend the money on if it comes to it. If you don't want to lose your money on a Mars mission then the guys who are saying they're going to spend your money on a Mars mission are not the guys for you.

That talks about trillion dollar markets. Nothing wrong with investing in Mars if money can be made. The problem is if he decides to create a mars base just because it's cool, not because it's profitable.

And yes, I don't plan to invest unless SpaceX stock somehow becomes cheap, which is very unlikely.

Only a matter of time before SpaceX starts selling parcels of land on Mars, surprised they haven’t yet. It has to be good for a few extra billions.
