How much could a banana cost? $20?

In short, I live in such a bubble that I can’t even remember anyone who does not have a disposable income of a hundred thousand dollars

tbf, he probably meant modulo borrowing to a bank

No, don’t take out a loan. Just become a SpaceX TM AstroXplorer! For the small price of $5000 (and your human rights) you can get a free ticket to the planet Mars. There, you will be legally required to work a minimum of 24hrs a day, 668 days a year! Please note, your enslavement employment will be terminated if you do not meet the minimum expected workload. At this point you will no longer be welcome inside a SpaceX facility on the Martian surface, and thus you will need to relocate to an alternative premises, or buy a SpaceX Starship seat home for only $100000.

Imagine voluntarily signing up to live in Elon’s private fiefdom on Mars.

Yes, but I only can do it, selling first 2 of my Ferraries.

If I sell my Ferraris then how am I supposed to travel from my private island to my day job at the office?

Maybe

he’s a douchebag

While it may be true that most westerners can afford a 100 000$ house, he omits that most of them need to put a mortgage on said house to be able to do so. I guess the point is that you can put a mortgage on the ticket as long as you finish paying it before the rocket takes off. But I am very doubtful that most people would be able to afford it in addition to their rent/housing mortgage.

An earlier plan actually said that they could pay it off on Mars, but people started pointing out that that sounds a lot like indentured servitude if you are stuck on Mars then, although H1-B visa workers for the FAANG in the US can probably tell a story about that as well…
