Because of mars's low gravity, any atmosphere we manage to create would inevitably evaporate, and it would become devoid of resources forever. I'm glad a capitalist with an 11-year old brain who can't see further than the next quarter is allowed to decide that we should exploit an entire planet
That's not quite correct. Mars has a a decent amount of gravity, the bigger problem is that it lacks a magnetosphere which causes the solar wind to strip off the top layer of the atmosphere (and this is made worse by the lower gravity). Despite that it can still hold on to the gases we need for millions of years, the atmosphere stripping process occurs on a geologic scale. So this is a solvable problem, it's just a bad idea to actually invest resources in it. Maybe in a few hundred years...

surprised musk hasnt tried to sell us planetary scale jumper cables to restart the martian core
Obviously we just need to make Mars heavier
We'll get some of the way but deporting L. Ron Musk there. He's quite dense.
