His confident declarations on Twitter/X have sparked debate among its users. Some skeptics question the feasibility of his forecasts about the imminent future, expressing their doubts in the post’s comment section.

Several people brought up Musk’s past declarations, stating that within the next five years, he predicted humans would establish a self-supporting Martian colony. More recently, Musk, the founder and CEO of SpaceX, expressed his belief that it could take around 20 years for such a Mars settlement to achieve self-sufficiency. Elon Musk’s goal is to make this a reality by sending crews to the Moon and eventually Mars using his reusable space rockets.

DOGE-1 lunar mission for SpaceX

Elon Musk, who’s renowned for his thriving tech business career and significant entrepreneurial drive, also enjoys widespread recognition among cryptocurrency enthusiasts due to his strong affinity for Dogecoin. Consequently, SpaceX has adopted Dogecoin as a payment option for their lunar expeditions.

In 2021, Musk announced via tweet that SpaceX intended to place a physical Dogecoin on the moon. However, it was later revealed that Musk was referring to SpaceX’s plans to launch a satellite into lunar orbit as part of the DOGE-1 mission. For this project, SpaceX received payment in Dogecoin.

Due to various reasons, the mission never took place in 2021 and was delayed. This year, SpaceX accepted another massive Dogecoin payment from the initial customer that ordered this mission to take place – Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC). The new timing for the mission has not been named yet, though.

Elon Musk makes astounding AI prediction

In a more recent development, Elon Musk, a prominent figure in the tech industry, has expressed his views on the future trajectory of Artificial Intelligence (AI) during a speech at X space. He anticipates that AI will surpass human intelligence by no later than 2025.

Before that remark, Musk predicted that in three years, AI would match human abilities and even compose novels on par with J.K. Rowling’s works, explore new areas in physics, and accomplish numerous other significant tasks that were once the exclusive domain of humans.
