The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla wants to launch nuclear bombs on Mars to make the planet more habitable and thus house humanity … or at least that made us glimpse through his official Twitter account.
The billionaire believes that, by hitting the red planet, the planet’s polar caps could melt and release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which would essentially create a greenhouse effect that could raise the planet’s temperature and air pressure.
It is not the first time that Musk suggests bombing Mars. In fact, in 2015, the tycoon had already shared this idea, explaining and arguing that it would be easier to inhabit Mars for humans, a plan that is projected for less than 100 years.
