Elon Musk left his mark on the World Economic Forum by making the bizarre claim that he’s not from this planet. The billionaire Tesla boss dropped the bombshell while chatting on stage in Davos, Switzerland, about tariffs, robot cars and whether AI will wipe out humanity.
Sharing the spotlight with BlackRock chief Larry Fink, Musk casually drifted into extraterrestrial territory, before saying that he himself is an alien. He told the crowd: “I’m often asked, are there aliens among us?
“And I’ll say that I am one.” Fink shot back: “You’re from the future?”
Musk replied: “They don’t believe me,” adding that, “I think if anyone would know if there were aliens among us, it would be me.”
And if there are any of his little green cohorts out there, Musk reckons he’d have spotted them by now. The SpaceX boss pointed to his army of more than 9,000 Starlink satellites orbiting Earth, insisting none have ever had to dodge a flying saucer.
“We have 9,000 satellites up there,” he said, “and not once have we had to manoeuvre around an alien spaceship.” Musk ended on a more serious note, warning that we might be the only intelligent life out there and to preserve ourselves.
He said: “Bottom line is we need to assume that life and consciousness are extremely rare, and it might only be us. If that’s the case, we need to do everything possible to ensure that the light of consciousness is not extinguished.”
This isn’t the first time that Musk has claimed to be an alien that no one believes. Speaking at VivaTech – a worldwide summit for technological start-ups – in Paris, France in May 2024, he was asked: “Some people believe that you are an alien?”
Musk laughed and replied: “I am an alien – yes, I keep telling people I’m an alien. But nobody believes me.”
He went on to warn that AI posed a more immediate problem than aliens for humans – predicting bots would wipe out every job on Earth. “Probably none of us will have a job,” he stated.
He said future employment would be optional and jobs could become hobbies, as AI and robots would provide all necessary goods and services. Later that year in November, he then claimed on X (formerly known as Twitter) that he was a time-travelling vampire alien who was tired of assuming other people’s identities over the centuries.
“Full disclosure, I’m actually a 3000 year old vampire. It’s such a trial assuming these false identities over the centuries!” he bizarrely wrote.
