That's right. Seems 
's current culture war fixations have made him sufficiently less interested in his older bullshit promises.
He will grift on, but seems he's losing interested in the space grift. He's posting cringe Gambo "AI" videos showing Gambo's favorite objectified SV victim and mistreated actress being a DJ at a Gambo-setting dance party instead (not linking that shit, look for it if you dare).
The light of consciousness may not extend to the stars within his lifetime by his own admission, which means if it ever does it won't include his dim smoldering light nor will it be his bigoted and emotionally poisonous consciousness. 
It's not unlike
being superficially fascinated with "the Expanse" because of course he fancies himself an immortal oligarch in the setting.
I always wondered why Amazon picked up the show, but that'd make sense. I don't remember if immortality/an extremely long life was possible within that universe, though.
It is kinda. Saying how or why would spoil the series, it's not really a good thing though
The average human on earth in the expanse can live to a hundred and thirty quite comfortably, the rich and the martians considerably longer and in more comfort.
