« We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins, » says SpaceX founder Elon Musk. The red planet has become the latest ammo in the US presidential race.
Elon Musk has vowed to get « anyone who wants to be a space traveller » to Mars – but not if Kamala Harris becomes US president.
On Sunday night, Musk told his X followers that in just two years, he will send five spaceships to Mars.
« Eventually », he added, « there will be thousands of Starships going to Mars and it will [be] a glorious sight to see! »
However, the vocal Donald Trump supporter said another Democratic presidency « would destroy the Mars programme and doom humanity » by drowning it in red tape.
Musk also said earlier in the month: « We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins. »
It’s a claim repeated by Republican candidate Mr Trump.
On Saturday, he vowed to reach Mars during his presidency if his supporters get him to the White House.
