The CEO of SpaceX, Elon Musk posted a photo of a planet on Sunday and the picture had a tagline “Occupy Mars”. Elon seems to have mistaken the Moon for Mars which invited a lot of laughter, jokes, and memes on the internet. People couldn’t help point out his mistake and laugh about it.
Elon’s tweet came right after US President Donald Trump’s tweet in which he claimed that the moon is part of mars. Some people are wondering if Elon’s tweet was just sarcastic reply to Trump’s tweet or is he is really mistaken.
Here’s what Trump tweeted:
For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon – We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!

After which Elon tweeted:

Some people thought that Elon’s tweet was just a reply to Donald Trump’s tweet which is sarcastic.
I choose to believe that this is just amazingly subtle shade on the president. Disclaimer I own Tesla Stock.

The hero who is going to colonize Mars doesn’t know what Mars looks like. Fantastic!
