And the fun didn't stop there. In what was clearly a poorly timed pitch, someone looking to produce a Funny Or Dievideo asked Musk if he'd use math to ID the "most expendable" person (and thus the most appropriate passenger for a one-way Mars trip) on Earth. He then suggested that person was actor Michael Cera.
But the question that took the cake was from a recent Burning Man attendee, who wondered aloud whether Mars would have functional toilets or whether, like Burning Man, it would be a "dusty, waterless shitstorm." (It likely wouldn't be, said Musk, as there is ice on Mars.)
While Musk might not have loved being asked about Mars poop, it was certainly enthralling for the internet.
