Recently, users of Starlink internet from SpaceX noticed something strange in the software’s terms of service. The app’s terms of services claim that Earth’s laws won’t govern life on Mars. Instead, the SpaceX colony on the red planet will abide by its own set of “self-governing principles.”
Highlights from the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show included Sony and Honda's Afeela, ChatGPT, and more.
Elon Musk frequently highlights the risks associated with artificial intelligence, emphasizing its potential threat to humanity's existence.

Yes, he does have the right. International space law only applies within a small range of Earths orbit. It does not apply on other planets. Even if one of Earths governments believed itself to have authority over mars, delusions of authority do not magically grant actual authority. Authority cannot exist without the physical ability to uphold it. Once Elon Musk lands on Mars, nobody on Earth will have the technological ability to stop him from making his own laws.
Governments can spout all the rhetoric they want about "laws" on mars, but unless they have the ability to actually enforce said laws on the surface of the planet, no such laws or authority exist.
