Myth Busting: Elon Musk’s Unfounded Mars Hotel Story

There is no factual basis for the claim that Elon Musk owns or intends to build a hotel on Mars. The claim that a hotel on Mars has been built, expected to launch at a price of $5 million a night, is completely false and misleading.

This misinformation originated from a satirical article posted on a website that did not include a disclaimer or fail to clearly state the humorous nature of the article.

The article uses fabricated images and quotes to add credibility to the article, but lacks support from any authentic sources or official statements from Elon Musk or SpaceX.

SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk is dedicated to advancing space exploration and making humans a multi-planetary species.

SpaceX focuses on developing reusable rockets and spacecraft capable of transporting people and cargo to Mars and other celestial bodies.

While SpaceX has launched a variety of missions, including missions to orbit and the International Space Station, there has been no talk of building hotels or similar structures on Mars. Elon Musk has not expressed any intention of pursuing such efforts.

The only project that has any connection to the space hotel concept is Orbital Assembly’s Voyager Station.

This proposed rotating space station could accommodate 400 people, offering artificial gravity, luxury amenities and recreational activities.

The company says it could launch in 2027, but it has no connection to Elon Musk or SpaceX and it would be in low Earth orbit, not on Mars.

In short, Elon Musk’s claims of ownership or plans to build a hotel on Mars are baseless and lack credible evidence. They stem from satire, misinformation, or wishful thinking rather than any basis in fact.
