New Delhi: Elon Musk has given a major update on human settling on the moon before Mars.

Through the video, Musk also showcased Tesla’s Cybertrucks and robots alongside humans on the lunar surface.

Optimus Robots to Lend a Hand

It is important to note that the video features several human-sized humanoid robots. These are Tesla’s Optimus robots. Experts are of the opinion that in the future, these robots could be used in a lunar settlement to perform heavy tasks, carry equipment, and assist humans. Musk has repeatedly stated that these robots could play a key role in helping establish a human colony on the Moon.

Recently, Musk had said that his company SpaceX will now concentrate on building a “self-sustaining city” on the Moon before moving to Mars. The Tesla boss also claimed that the goal of establishing a human settlement on the Moon could be achieved in less than 10 years.

In his post, Musk said that while colonies will eventually be built on Mars as well, the immediate priority will be the Moon.
