It is no secret that Elon Musk has grand plans to colonise Mars. More people now want to join his quest, with an adult entertainment star saying she wants to have a baby as part of his red planet venture.

It is no secret that Elon Musk has grand plans to colonise Mars. More people now want to join his quest, with an adult entertainment star saying she wants to have a baby as part of his red planet venture. Swedish OnlyFans model Elsa Thora says she wants to give birth to a baby on Mars. And not just anybody's baby, Musk's baby, Daily Mail reported. Appearing on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Tuesday, the 22-year-old adult entertainer from the UK said, "I'm really into sci-fi, so I would never say no to sex with an alien, or Elon...I think he's really cool, I think he's really funny." Thora has even reached out to Musk on X and written to him about her desire to have his baby, on Mars. "I've tagged him in an X post and have made a petition to him," she said. Kyle's co-host Jackie O Henderson asked Thora why she wants Musk to father her interplanetary baby, to which she replied, "He's the spaceman, and also he's got 12 kids already, so he's experienced." She has also posted about it on her Instagram page. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Elsa Thora (@elsa.thora) × Musk's plans include sending humans to Mars by the end of this decade.
