The wealthier Elon gets the more government is going to be a problem as they see that not only is he serious about Mars but that he's actually capable of it. Without Elon, Mars isn't just a zone completely out of their dominion, but it's Mount Olympus to them, with carte blanche to reign down righteous fury upon them from the sky which they have absolutely no ability to fight back against. That is a non-option for them. They will do everything within their capability to prevent that from happening. They will kill putting men on Mars before the idea can leave the womb of Elon's mind. Elon effectively having the MIC around his finger with what Starship offers will only work for him so long as he plays ball within the set field. His goals are already outside of that, making that a non-option for Elon.
That being said, if Elon decided to start a pmc for totally inconspicuous purposes I'd probably join it.
