Elon Musk reveals why he really wants Trump to win the White House

Elon Musk said SpaceX's ability to colonize Mars rides heavily on the Republican nominee getting back into office.

The SpaceX CEO said the first crewed mission to the Red Planet would launch in 2027 and the first human boots on the Martian landscape a year later .

He claimed that under President Joe Biden's administration, it has become 'almost illegal' to launch space missions, despite the fact that SpaceX has launched over 300 rockets since 2020 - more than any other commercial spaceflight company.

Trump 's presidency had demonstrated that he is aligned with Musk 's goals for space exploration in a number of ways.

Musk has repeatedly argued that many of these regulations are outdated and overly restrictive, slowing down innovation within SpaceX and other commercial spaceflight companies. 'Unless there is significant government reform, laws & regulations will keep getting worse every year until every great endeavor from high-speed rail between our cities to making life multiplanetary, is effectively illegal, Musk previously stated. This all suggests that Musk sees his investment in the Trump campaign as an investment in the future of SpaceX, and in his eyes, the future of humanity..
