After years of dismissing Earth's neighbor as a "distraction," the SpaceX CEO announced on X that the company has officially shifted its primary focus toward building a "self-growing city" on the moon. While Mars remains the ultimate goal, Musk now argues that the lunar surface offers a much faster "backup" for human consciousness. Musk pointed out that while the stars must align every 26 months for a six-month trek to Mars, the moon is available every 10 days and is only a 48-hour commute away.
