He said: “There's still a lot of work to do. So when I say, you know, we've probably got a shot at putting it in a person, you know, within a year.

Musk also revealed to the New York Times he has urged Kanye West to delay his presidential bid, which Musk have publicly supported, to 2024, saying “I’ve done my best to convince him that 2024 would be better than 2020”.
