The image shows Starship with a lunar hill rising behind it and the Earth glowing in the dark distance. Musk responded to a question asking if Starship will be able to safely land in an area that's not perfectly flat, like the moon's surface. He says it will. 

SpaceX is currently planning to load Starship up with artists and send it on a trip around the moon in 2023, but there are no plans for that mission to actually land on the lunar surface. The spacecraft is still in the early stages of development. A prototype "hopper" took its first little test leaps in early April.
