<p>While delivering an enthusiastic speech after the Inauguration on Monday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> told fellow supporters of President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> they helped assure the &#8220;future of civilization.&#8221;</p>
<p>Musk, a tech executive who is poised to help lead the new administration&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-government-efficiency-doge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DOGE</a>), touted Trump&#8217;s 2024 election win at a Capital One Arena rally in Washington, D.C.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is what victory feels like! Yea!&#8221; Musk exclaimed. &#8220;This was no ordinary victory. This was a fork in the road of human civilization.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured,&#8221; Musk said moments later. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to have safe cities — finally! — safe cities, secure borders, sensible spending. Basic stuff. And we&#8217;re going to take DOGE to Mars!&#8221;</p>

<p>The crowd roared in response.</p>
<p>&#8220;I mean, can you imagine how awesome it will be to have American astronauts plant the flag on another planet for the first time?&#8221; Musk asked.</p>

<p>After simulating planting a couple of flags into the ground, he added, &#8220;Yea! How inspiring would that be?&#8221;</p>
<p>One of the many companies that Musk runs is SpaceX, which <a href="https://www.spacex.com/humanspaceflight/mars/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aims</a> to one day send people to Mars and beyond. Musk <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/elon-musk-predicts-crewed-spacex-flights-mars-2028-hopes-self-sustaining-city-planet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggested</a> last year that the first crewed flights to Mars could happen by 2028.</p>
<p>Trump briefly talked about sending the first humans to the planet Mars as part of his inaugural address at the U.S. Capitol.</p>
<p>&#8220;We will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes on the planet Mars,&#8221; Trump said to a round of applause.</p>
<p>Musk <a href="https://x.com/cspan/status/1881372611097379102" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attended</a> Trump&#8217;s inauguration alongside Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, a fellow billionaire with a space company, as well as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Google CEO Sundar Pichai.</p>

<p>He looked <a href="https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1881396298252943446" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thrilled</a>, giving two thumbs up and clapping, when Trump made the comment about Mars.</p>
<p>Also during his Capital One Arena speech, Musk spoke about how people need things to inspire them. And he told the audience that he would work his &#8220;a** off&#8221; for them.</p>
<p>&#8220;I really will,&#8221; Musk declared. &#8220;I&#8217;m super fired up for the future. It&#8217;s going to be very exciting. As the president said, we&#8217;re going to have a &#8216;golden age.&#8217; It&#8217;s going to be fantastic.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump is expected to deliver remarks at the Capital One Arena event, too, and <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1881432961016598796" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sign</a> a number of executive orders at a desk now bearing the presidential seal in front of the crowd of nearly 20,000 people.</p>
