We should have seen this coming:
SpaceX will not recognise international law on Mars, according to the Terms of Service of its Starlink internet project.
Elon Musk’s space company will instead reportedly adhere to a set of "self-governing principles" that will be defined at the time of Martian settlement.
I'm sure these principles will include freedom from paying earthly taxes while having the power to tax and rule anyone who moves to Mars.
Today's tech titans don't want democracy or accountability any more than did the robber barons of the past.
