Isn't this a bit of a "straw musk"? I haven't seen it claimed by Musk or anyone competent/high up at Spacex or their fan communities that Mars could be terraformed in a "ridiculously short" time, i.e. < 30 or so years.

Perhaps we should be more precise about what counts as "ridiculously short", quantify the disagreement, etc.
