Maybe his plan is to provide space hotels on the moon for all the mega rich, eventually leading to a colony for the privileged.

The money from fleecing all those billionaires would pay towards further uses such as building a base to explore space without all the energy cost of escaping the Earth's gravity each time.

To start all they need is a decent 3d printer. If you can build sand castles on a beach it must be easy to build similar out of moon dust. Maybe the elemental composition of the moon would allow manufacturing of more permanent structures and facilities.

The cost needs a global effort for mankind to finally start looking at serious plans for colonising off Earth.

Or maybe he just wants to see Pink Floyd play live from the dark side of the moon.
