ELON Musk has confirmed plans to go off to Mars in a strop.

The billionaire has had a difficult few days after his Thai cave rescue PR stunt morphed into calling a diver a “pedo”.

In a statement, Musk explained: “I am going to Mars and you can’t come. You are all murderers and kiddie fiddlers anyway.

“When I get there, I’m going to put up a sign that says ‘Elon only’ so don’t even think about trying to visit. You’re not allowed.”

The 47-year-old tech whizz added that he is rubber and everyone else is glue, so he doesn’t care what people are saying about him anyway.

He added: “In my Mars den there will just be two cute robots called Bleepy and Whizzbot, they will be my best friends. We will collect rocks and have adventures.

“Also I am doing a new science thing to throw a cow into the sun with a very big catapult, because I am clever.”
