Elon Musk aims to live in a Mars city, says mother Maye Musk
Maye Musk has shared insights regarding her son Elon Musk’s long-term ambitions, stating that he expresses a desire to live in a city on Mars. In a conversation with Yahoo Finance, she noted that while his ideas often surprise her, his focus on space technology is driven by specific humanitarian goals.
She cited his motivation for developing satellite connectivity as a means to prevent deaths in remote areas where communication is impossible. Additionally, she expressed hope for the future impact of Neuralink, particularly its potential to assist people with disabilities. These ambitions align with SpaceX’s ongoing development of the Starship system, which is designed to transport cargo and humans to Earth orbit, the Moon, and Mars to support the goal of making humanity a multi-planetary species.
