«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.
