Musk says SpaceX focused on building self-growing city on Moon in less than 10 years

Elon Musk said on Sunday ​that SpaceX has shifted its focus to building a “self-growing city” on ‌the Moon, which ‌he ‌said ⁠could ​be ‌achieved in less than 10 years.
"That said, SpaceX will also strive ⁠to build ‌a Mars ‍city ‍and begin doing ‍so in about 5 to 7 years, but ​the overriding priority is securing the ⁠future of civilization and the Moon is faster," Musk added in an X post.
