#AlaLuna Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla: āIn a distant future, within 100 or 1,000 years, I will be remembered for having taken humans to Mars with SpaceX Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, participated in the podcast Verdict with Ted Cruz, where he addressed various topics such as artificial intelligence, nonprofit funding, and U.S. government spending. However, towards the end of the interview, Senator Ted Cruz asked him how he would like to be remembered in a hundred years. The magnate replied clearly: āIn the future, whether in 100 or 1000 years, if SpaceX manages to take humans to Mars, it will be for what I will be remembered.ā
During the conversation, he also highlighted the intelligence of figures like Larry Ellison and Jeff Bezos, pointing out that for him, true intellect is linked to overcoming great difficulties and generating significant changes in humanity. In line with his vision of space exploration, Musk announced on his social media X that SpaceX plans to send a Starship rocket to Mars next year with Tesla's humanoid robot Optimus on board. If the uncrewed landings are successful, the first humans could arrive on the red planet in 2029 or, more likely, in 2031.
