Since taking over Twitter, Elon Musk has shifted the focus to the microblogging platform by bringing in some tumultuous changes to the company. However, despite this chaos, the SpaceX CEO has confirmed that he is still working on his ambitious plan to colonise Mars.
The billionaire made the statement in reply to a meme shared by a user on Twitter. The meme suggested that while Elon Musk is busy revamping Twitter, his other company Tesla is suffering and his Mars mission has taken a back seat.
Responding to the meme, Elon Musk asserted, “Mars plans are still moving forward”.

“They don't understand that everything you do is for the sake of reaching Mars,” a user wrote.

Some chose to take a swipe at the billionaire as one said, “Don't fire everybody who knows how to do it,” referring to his decision of firing nearly half of Twitter staff.
