Letting the DOJ handle the Epstein files was a mistake. Elon knew that now. But he had bigger problems to worry about. He was trapped on a planet with a child who hated him and held his life in hi—her hands. He was running out of options.

Elon’s phone dinged. When he looked, it was a book recommendation from Kindle.

He was about to swipe the notification away when he saw what the book was: The Martian by Andy Weir.

That was it!

Elon would do what everyone thought he was doing all along: start his own civilization on Mars.
