Not just SpaceX, everything Elon is doing is centered around mars. Yes some of these are a stretch, a big stretch even. Ok a ludicrous stretch. Anyways by company.
SpaceX-pushing rocket tech makes mars a more targetable endevour.
Tesla- better solar panels and better batteries mean you can consume and store more power on be red planet.
Open AI- it's going to be very important to be able to prefab critical systems before any astronauts get there. AI can help there.
Boring Company- Where do you build a home in a place with almost no atmosphere to shield you from radiation? Underground. What's nice and cylindrical and would fit nicely in a tube atop a rocket? Bore segments. Also TBC's bores are being designed with a smaller diameter than your typical bore. Elon says it's so cars can fit in them to revolutionize the LA commute, I see something that can be moduralized and put on top of a heavy lift rocket and used to prefab Martian living quarters.
