It would be a Martian colony with no direct loyalty to any single nation.

It could be, though it does not have to be.

Probably not.

Not the whole planet, since international treaties make that impossible. And not necessarily just the colony either, since the U.S. government might not want the responsibilities that go with jurisdiction over an extraterrestrial colony.

Elon Musk is a naturalized American citizen, and his colonists will undoubtably be Americans. I look forward to it.
