SpaceX pivots to a lunar city, delaying Mars ambitions

Elon Musk said SpaceX has shifted priority to a self‑growing city on the Moon to be achieved in under 10 years, with Mars still on the roadmap for later; the move aligns with a report that SpaceX told investors it would focus on the Moon first and aim for an uncrewed lunar landing by March 2027, while NASA’s Artemis program remains a smaller portion of its business as Starlink dominates revenue and SpaceX pursues AI ventures and an anticipated IPO.
