I like to imagine that Musk might announce that his Mars colony will be a socialist society at some point - low-income workers like teachers, nurses, and garbage collectors are going to be needed there but they won't be able to pay to get there. The obvious solution will be a "tax"-based single-payer system where some extra people tag along with the wealthy ones who are funding everything. The reactions of his fan base would be genuinely hilarious.



What would he gain from doing that?


Nothing. I'm not saying he'll do it. I'm saying it'd be funny if he did.
