Will Elon Musk visit Mars in his lifetime?

The question asks whether Elon Musk will visit Mars in his lifetime, with resolution by 2099 or his death. The provided articles are largely tangential: one covers a new SpaceX launch site in Louisiana AP article, another discusses Ukraine seeking Musk's help with missile launchers FT article, a third reports Trump's purchase of SpaceX shares Reuters article, and the fourth is an opinion piece about Musk's climate mantra of moving energy production off-planet Guardian article. None directly state that Musk will or will not visit Mars, nor do they provide a timeline or commitment. However, the articles do confirm SpaceX's active and expanding Starship program, which is the vehicle designed for Mars missions AP article, and Musk's public advocacy for off-planet energy and colonization Guardian article. Given Musk's stated long-term goal of making humanity multi-planetary, his control over SpaceX, and the company's continued investment in Starship infrastructure, a Mars visit is plausible. Yet, the articles do not provide concrete evidence of a planned personal visit, and significant technical, financial, and health uncertainties remain. The probability is therefore moderately above 50%, reflecting the credible but unconfirmed possibility, but not a high-confidence yes.
