“What doesn’t suck? Earth. But the way we treat it frankly, sucks,” the company explained on Twitter.
“And then, you dream of Mars. A hellhole. A barren, desolate, wasteland you can’t set foot on fast enough. Great, we got to Mars. Now let’s prioritize earth.”
Mr Musk has said he hopes to land on the Red Planet by the end of the decade and to have established a self-sustaining colony on Mars by 2050.
