Elon Musk said that a $100,000 hypothetical price point for a ticket on his shuttles to Mars should be affordable for most people.

It might be affordable for those who have a good reason to go to Mars (researchers, long-term residents, etc.). OTOH, I can think of much more enjoyable ways to blow $100,000 than spending a few months in a tin can.

The 'anyone can afford' is really aimed at permanent residents. Once you sell your house on Earth, you've got tons of money for a ticket and then your new home on Mars.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

Almost everyone can afford Tesla Model 3 for $50K+ (plus fees probably north of $60K). Somehow I think it's a luxury item. Feels like the richest's man on Earth perceptions and views are slightly skewed. But may be it's just me...

Elon's explicitly said as much before. The cost of the trip needs to be low enough that it becomes part of what you spend to "buy a house" (really a tiny condo I suspect) on Mars.

Sure. If you live and work in Silicon Valley, don’t own or rent a home, and sleep in spare bedrooms of friends’ houses like Elon Musk claims he does, you will have $100,000 to spare. :sigh:
