I wonder if Musk has read Ray Bradbury's novel "The Martian Chronicles"? The first few space flights to Mars don't turn out too well for the astronauts in his book. The Martians keep killing them! Eventually, though, we colonize the place, & of course we send up a bunch of Catholic priests to convert the Martians ( I am not making this up.) So the Martians immediately disappear into thin air.

There are people who didn't read "The Martian Chronicles" in high school? The ones who are younger than us?
