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.

> If you're going to get a significant fraction of the human race living off Earth you'll need to build something nicer than Earth that's what Blue Origin is working-on but their timeline is unsure to me :-) ▶ this video
