I have no doubt someday someone will build a starship that gets humans to Mars. It might even be this one!
The problem is that he manipulated the public and government into privatizing space exploration, which means that huge profits are going to be extracted and the engineers who built everything are responsible to individuals, not the people.
Lastly, Elon is a con man who simply buys the credit for other people's work and everything he touches eventually turns to shit. Tesla is shit, his tunnels are shit, his stupid Thai cave submarine was shit, everything. He hyped up this sleek sci-fi starship for years and it turns out to be a janky-looking metal tube - you can assume there is good engineering reason, but I bet it's because it's actually shit.
If you care about space you should be concerned about Elon Musk's influence.

I am way ahead of that, if it were up to me he would be facing the wall already, my goal is not to defend that fucker.

Does it make a real difference though? Look at the cyber truck. The main complaint is it looks like a child drawing or something.
If current Starship looked the same as the original design people would still shit on it based on looks. That is my only pet peeve here the "bet" you are making about the engineering quality should be based on the fact it keeps blowing up, not on how it looks.

Also the one NASA thinks they'll use doesn't look like a jank metal tube.
The one Musk accidentally smashed with a hammer on stage while trying to prove it wasn't a piece of shit?
Lol that's another fucking drawing.
