For more than two decades, Elon Musk has focused SpaceX , his rocket company, on his lifelong goal of reaching Mars.

The Boring Company, a private tunneling venture founded by Mr. Musk, was started in part to ready equipment to burrow under Mars's surface, two of the people said. Mr. Musk has told people that he bought X , the social media platform, partly to help test how a citizen-led government that rules by consensus might work on Mars. He has also said that he envisions residents on the planet will drive a version of the steel-paneled Cybertrucks made by Tesla, his electric vehicle company.

Mr. Musk, who is worth about $270 billion , has publicly declared that he only accumulates assets — which include a roughly $47 billion Tesla pay package — to fund his plans for Mars.

"It's a way to get humanity to Mars, because establishing a self-sustaining city on Mars will require a lot of resources," he testified in court in 2022 about his Tesla pay.
