Elon Musk Claims One Million Humans Will Live On Mars In 20 Years, Offers His Sperm To Seed The Mars Colony

July 11, 2024 Crackpots, Idiocracy

The New York Times reports:

For more than two decades, Elon Musk has focused SpaceX, his rocket company, on his lifelong goal of reaching Mars. Over the last year, he has also ramped up work on what will happen if he gets there.

Mr. Musk told SpaceX employees in April that he now expects one million people to be living there in about 20 years. No one has ever set foot on the planet. NASA doesn’t expect to land humans on Mars until the 2040s.

And if people get there, they will be greeted by a barren terrain, icy temperatures, dust storms, and air that is impossible to breathe. Yet Mr. Musk is so wedded to the idea of creating a civilization on Mars — he once said he plans to die there — that it has propelled nearly every business endeavor he has undertaken on Earth.

The Daily Beast reports:



Employees said that Musk has ordered a team to make a spacesuit fit for Mars’ inhospitable environment and a medical team to research whether humans can procreate on Mars. Musk has volunteered his sperm to help seed a colony, two people familiar with his comments said.

Musk has fathered 12 children already, six with first wife Justine Wilson, one of whom died in infancy; three with former girlfriend Grimes; and three with top Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.

Musk has gone as far as buying social media platform X to “test how a citizen-led government that rules by consensus might work on Mars,” according to employees who spoke to the Times.
