'I'm not a Mars person': Bill Gates takes a dig at Elon Musk as he talks about climate change

"It’s important to say that what Elon did with Tesla is one of the greatest contributions to climate change anyone’s ever made. And you know, underestimating Elon is not a good idea. No, I’m not a Mars person. I know a lot of Mars people. But, you know, I’m not subject to that," he was quoted as saying.

And while Gates readily admits that he could be "missing something", he also believes that rockets are not "the solution".
