Maye Musk, mother of Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, said her son genuinely hopes to live in a city on Mars in the coming decades, comments that underscore the long-horizon ambition behind his space venture. Speaking on the "Power Players with Brian Sozzi" podcast, she said, "I think he really would love to live in a Mars city. That's what he keeps saying." She added that she cannot know exactly what her son is thinking, noting he "always comes up with amazing ideas."
