A Cosmic Dream: Model Seeks to Carry Elon Musk’s Child on Mars

A Swedish model aims to make history by becoming the first mother to give birth on Mars, expressing her desire to carry Elon Musk’s child as part of his vision for Martian colonization. Elsa Thora, who resides in the UK, has publicly declared her ambition on social media, stating, “Dreaming beyond Earth…I’m setting my sights on Mars to make history as the first mother on another world. Time to take humanity to the stars”

At just 22 years old, Thora is enthusiastic about initiating human life on the Red Planet and has proposed to conceive with Musk in a traditional manner. She has calculated that she could become pregnant on Earth and time the birth to coincide with Musk’s estimated nine-month journey to Mars13. If that plan does not materialize, she is open to the idea of conceiving during the flight itself, calling it a “massive step in history”

Thora has expressed her admiration for Musk, referring to him as “the spaceman” and highlighting his experience as a father of twelve. She believes that having a child with him would be a significant milestone in human history14. During a recent interview, she mentioned her interest in science fiction and humorously stated she would not reject the idea of intimacy with either an alien or Musk himself1.

In her outreach efforts, Thora has tagged Musk in posts on X (formerly Twitter) and created a petition to garner support for her cosmic aspirations. She envisions herself and Musk as the intergalactic “Adam and Eve,” emphasizing the unique possibilities of creating life in zero gravity.

Musk’s plans for Mars include establishing a self-sustaining city within two decades, with the first uncrewed Starship missions set to launch soon to test landing capabilities. He aims to transport over a million people to Mars, facilitating human reproduction on the planet.

However, experts caution that reproductive processes may not function as they do on Earth due to differences in gravity and radiation exposure, which could pose risks for any future Martian-born children
