Elon Musk, the genius behind SpaceX and Tesla, is at it again, making big predictions about life on Mars. The Mirror spilled the beans on Musk’s latest tweet spree where he basically said, “Hey, folks, get ready for a city on Mars in 30 years!” He casually dropped this bomb on X/Twitter, the platform he probably designed during his breakfast cereal.
The man with a plan mentioned that an unmanned trip to Mars is doable in under five years, while actually putting boots on the ground might only take less than a decade. Musk even dared to dream of a bustling metropolis on the red planet in 20 years, but he’s guaranteed it will happen within 30 years – you can book your Martian real estate now!

Some fans couldn’t contain their excitement, commenting on Musk’s post about how mind-blowing this all sounds. One person even said they’re crossing their fingers to stick around another decade just to witness the Mars magic. And who can blame them? Elon Musk’s brain is like a perpetual motion machine of wild ideas, constantly churning out the next big thing.
Before we all pack our bags for Mars, it’s worth noting that Musk has a track record of announcing out-of-this-world plans with timelines that are, let’s say, “flexible.” Websites like ElonMusk.Today keep track of how many days have passed since Elon made promises that are still stuck on Earth. Like the time he said SpaceX would set up a Mars base by 2028 – that was over 2,000 days ago!
SpaceX, the brainchild of Musk since 2002, has already achieved some pretty impressive milestones, like sending rockets into orbit and ferrying astronauts to the International Space Station. But they’ve yet to send anyone beyond Earth’s cozy orbit. Hey, Rome wasn’t built in a day, right?
Musk’s obsession with Mars goes way back, all the way to 2001 when he dreamed up Mars Oasis, a project to grow plants on the red planet. He’s been shouting from the rooftops (or should we say rocket tops?) about extending humanity’s reach to Mars and beyond. So, buckle up, Earthlings – Elon Musk is steering the spacecraft, and he’s got Mars in his sights!
