Dubai is a unique destination, where futuristic cityscapes blend perfectly with the timeless beauty of the desert and sea. With its ultra-modern architecture and innovative infrastructure, it is the jewel of the UAE, and even Elon Musk agrees. It is where culture meets modernity, and the city’s large tech and science market may soon welcome SpaceX to its doors.
Social media mogul Hassan Sajwani recently pitched the idea of building a SpaceX spaceport in Dubai on Twitter. When the tweet caught the eye of SpaceX owner and American billionaire Elon Musk, he didn’t hesitate to endorse the idea. He replied, “Maybe one day it will happen,” leaving the possibility open to the delight of netizens.

The comments section of the online update, which has been viewed more than 60,000 times, is brimming with excitement over the idea. “This is so real,” said one user. “Dubai respects and appreciates Elon and will evolve in a revolutionary way, I would love to see it!” another wrote, while another called it “the future of Dubai.” Meanwhile, others shared their thoughts on an AI-generated image of Dubai’s SpaceX spaceport, attached to the post. “This is what should be built. More beautiful, with quality and comfort,” they said.

Elon Musk’s comments come just a few days after he responded to another photo of Dubai’s skyscrapers shared by Hassan Sajwani on X. The view is so mysterious that it makes you wonder if it’s real or AI-generated. However, Hassan emphasized in the caption, “NOTE: This is not an AI-generated image… This is real!” Elon Musk praised Dubai’s view, calling it a “beautiful city.”
