You might be right but consider these old talks: Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species (2016) this video Elon Musk talks Climate Change and Carbon Tax at the Sorbone 2015 [LINK] It could be that he was just following the trends knowing there was money to be made, but I detect some real passion back in these videos. Of course no motivation comes from a single source and there's some mix of philanthropy and money driving this, among other motivations. Either way his tone has changed a lot, to say the least.
