    While delivering an enthusiastic speech after the Inauguration on Monday, Elon Musk told fellow supporters of President Donald Trump they helped assure the "future of civilization."

    Musk, a tech executive who is poised to help lead the new administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), touted Trump's 2024 election win at a Capital One Arena rally in Washington, D.C.

    "This is what victory feels like! Yea!" Musk exclaimed. "This was no ordinary victory. This was a fork in the road of human civilization."

    "It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured," Musk said moments later. "We're going to have safe cities - finally! - safe cities, secure borders, sensible spending. Basic stuff. And we're going to take DOGE to Mars!"

    The crowd roared in response.

    "I mean, can you imagine how awesome it will be to have American astronauts plant the flag on another planet for the first time?" Musk asked.

    After simulating planting a couple of flags into the ground, he added, "Yea! How inspiring would that be?"

    One of the many companies that Musk runs is SpaceX, which aims to one day send people to Mars and beyond. Musk suggested last year that the first crewed flights to Mars could happen by 2028.

    Trump briefly talked about sending the first humans to the planet Mars as part of his inaugural address at the U.S. Capitol.

    "We will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes on the planet Mars," Trump said to a round of applause.

    Musk attended Trump'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.

    He looked thrilled, giving two thumbs up and clapping, when Trump made the comment about Mars.

    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 "a** off" for them.

    "I really will," Musk declared. "I'm super fired up for the future. It's going to be very exciting. As the president said, we're going to have a 'golden age.' It's going to be fantastic."


    Trump is expected to deliver remarks at the Capital One Arena event, too, and sign a number of executive orders at a desk now bearing the presidential seal in front of the crowd of nearly 20,000 people.

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
