Elon Musk has said: We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins

Elon Musk has said: We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins.

A successful mission to Mars may hinge on the outcome of the U.S. presidential election in October, according to SpaceX CEO and prominent Republican supporter Elon Musk.

"Trump supports a government efficiency commission to allow great things to be done, Kamala does not," Musk said on X, formerly Twitter, adding, "We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins."

In a separate post, Musk expressed frustration, claiming that the debate moderators were "not fair" to Trump.

The American billionaire, who has long been driven by the goal of colonizing Mars, announced on Saturday that he aims to launch his Starships on a crewless mission to Mars within two years. If successful, he hopes to send the first crewed mission in four years.
