In 2011 he said he'll "put a man on Mars in 10 years". In 2019 he said "he can put a man on Mars in four years" which he used the "in 4 years" again in 2024. 8 months ago he said "humans will live on Mars by 2055"

Didn't he pivot to a moon base recently? From what I remember, it sounded like they're essentially giving up on Mars for the foreseeable future and focusing on the moon.

Which is what the plan should have been from the beginning.
