He has quietly declared that this will fund the colonization of Mars.

Let's do the math:

Is there a market for the internet, globally, untethered from any of the current ISPs (and no country filtering). Um. yes.

Potential market size: um, 5-6 billion

Pricing: $10-60 a month? Call it $20 a month.

1 billion customers at 20B a month.... 120B annual revenue for your own space colonization program.

Oh. Yeah. The math checks out just fine.
