What to make of Musk's comments that are critical of NASA's lunar plans?

By all means send him to Mars (one way ticket) and good riddance!

Na. I like it
A Mars landing will improve the standing of the US too.
And it may conform life there (sample return possible too).
and confirm the Viking positive experiment:

Else...
China will land on Mars and claim all of it and find life there.
:-)

So many money sucking NahSah projects, driving around the bock doing acrobatics
going nowhere.
If Columbus had been that way the Aztecs would still rule :-)

I remember those Moon landings, was at the National TV network control room
relaying it to the country here.
It united much of humanity, very inspiring.

Now US cannot even go there it seems.

Hope Musk makes it while I am still around.
