Technology entrepreneur and academic Vivek Wadhwa, who has known Elon Musk for 15 years, thought the tech billionaire had perhaps had one too many drinks in 2012 when he shared his plans to retire on Mars.
 
"We were talking about Star Trek. He says 'I'm gonna go to Mars,'" Wadhwa said during an appearance on "NewsNation Prime." "He went on about how he plans to retire on Mars. I thought he was kidding with me. Later on, I realized he was dead serious. Elon doesn't just dream, he makes things happen."
