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. 
If it means bringing the blight of capitalism to space, especially because it would also involve the colonial treatment to any life found out there (to the heaving delight of the kind of chuds that fantasize about murdering the Na'vi of Pandora for their treats), no, I do not want "the light of consciousness" to spread to the stars.
Yes, i just want to point that at this stage not even geniunely good and impressive initiatives like Webb telescope are justifying any of it. No, porky and their pet uncle Sam get face in mud in gulag, should not look up and think how to monetise the space.
