SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said that there is a "70% chance that he will move to Mars", despite the "fair chance" that he will not survive it. This became known from an interview - an overview can be found here. “We recently made a number of breakthroughs, and I really fired up,” Musk said. "I'm talking about moving there." However, he agrees that the risks are very high. “The probability of dying on Mars is much higher than on Earth. The chance of dying is pretty big."
Even if you manage to get to Mars, you can break in its difficult conditions, but Musk still intends to go there.
Elon Musk will live on Mars
The SpaceX creator noted that those who want to go to the Red Planet need to start saving, because a trip to Mars will cost about two hundred thousand dollars.
The Musk spacecraft, designed for interplanetary travel, Starship is a reusable vehicle designed to transport people and supplies to Mars, as well as being able to dramatically reduce travel time on Earth.
The ship consists of two parts - the launch vehicle itself and the ship itself - and will eventually replace the Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy and Dragon, also created by SpaceX. The spacecraft will serve the orbit of the Earth, the Moon, Mars, and in the future will go further into the Solar system.

The first flight with the participation of a private passenger - Japanese billionaire Yusaku Meizawa - to the moon is scheduled for 2023.
In principle, from a person who all his life dreamed of colonizing Mars and put a lot of effort into this, nothing else could be expected. Dreaming, realizing, building a rocket, colonizing Mars and dying on the Red Planet is a decent life for an individual.
