According to Deep Tide TechFlow news, on November 24, Musk retweeted a video shared by IBC Group CEO Mario Nawfal on social platform X, stating, "This is support from the meme OG creator." In the video, the famous evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins stated that Musk's plan to colonize Mars "is feasible and is a great challenge."

"I have a strong belief in human ingenuity, and I am also a loyal fan of Elon Musk, who wants to colonize Mars. I think greening Mars is actually possible. This is a serious and practical possibility. I see it as a fantastic challenge. It's a wonderful way to combine different sciences. The plan to colonize Mars is incredibly fascinating, and I think it could be a worth-implementing plan in the medium term."
