He’s dressed as a spaceman with MSTR letters and a BTC mascot (each in orange – the colour of Bitcoin) on his white jacket.

“We’re going to Mars,” the tweet states.

Musk intends to ship uncrewed rockets to Mars in two years when there’s the shortest distance between Earth and Mars. If all goes effectively, based on him, in two years after that SpaceX will ship the primary crewed spaceships.
