Musk stated that SpaceX will shift its focus and will first concentrate on building a "self-growing city" on the moon before advancing its plans for Mars.

Elon Musk stated that SpaceX will prioritize projects related to the Moon rather than Mars projects. He mentioned factors such as shorter timelines and strategic urgency, while emphasizing the company still holds a long-term vision of landing on Mars. "For those who are not aware, SpaceX has shifted its focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we may be able to achieve this goal in less than 10 years, while landing on Mars would take over 20 years," Musk wrote in a post on the X platform. "SpaceX's mission remains unchanged: to expand our known consciousness and life to the stars," he added.
