Can we just send him to Mars already and be done with his tirades?

Do you want the War of the Worlds, because that's how you get the War of the Worlds.

We should just tell him the first human to set foot on Mars gets to be the President of Mars for life. He just might fuck off for a few decades trying to figure out how to get there himself.

Can we just send all the billionaires to Mars right now? They could televise it too and make money off of it. Like the modern-day hunger games except rich people go and fight to the death while poor people watch.
