Elon Musk tweets a sight of SpaceX's Big Falcon Rocket and Mars Base Alpha

There hasn’t been a more interesting time for journalism on **Elon Musk** in recent history. From decisions about taking Tesla **private** , to falsely  **calling** a man a pedophile, to taking a Japanese fashion retailer **Yusaku Maezawa** to the Moon — Musk has maintained a healthy presence of himself, and Tesla, in our timelines. But then, there’s also **SpaceX** , and according to Musk’s latest tweets, the company is taking big steps towards future space missions. He tweeted the images of the Big Falcon Rocket or the BFR, and the SpaceX’s Mars Base Alpha. [caption id=“attachment_5243781” align=“alignnone” width=“1024”] Big Falcon Rocket.

Looks like that this image is a hint towards the same. The Tesla chief also has ambitions for SpaceX to transport people to the Moon. According to a report by The Indian Express, SpaceX had once posted a rendition of the Moon Base Alpha on its Instagram handle but later took it down. What Musk has currently tweeted is the Mars Base Alpha. [caption id=“attachment_5243361” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”] Mars Base Alpha.

Also, Musk was  sued for defamation on the same day for falsely suggesting that a British caver who helped rescue 12 boys and their soccer coach from a Thailand cave in July was a pedophile and child rapist.
