In a recent interview with Kattie Miller on her podcast, Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, shared his thoughts on the existence of aliens, UFO sightings, and the prevalence of internet conspiracy theories with a mix of wit and earnestness. Despite SpaceX's meticulous tracking of orbital objects, Musk firmly stated, "I have seen no evidence of aliens, and none of the senior team at SpaceX has either. I even asked some of the top brass about it, and they all say they've never witnessed anything of the sort."
Musk went on to suggest that UFOs are more likely to be human-made technology, akin to hypersonic missiles. He attributed UFO sightings to advanced weapons programs designed by the United States government. "It's just an unidentified flying object," he explained. "It could be a new weapons program, a hypersonic missile, or something like that. Technically, that would be a UFO, but it's essentially just a weapons prototype. It's not aliens."
When asked about a conspiracy theory he believed in, the Tesla CEO quipped, "I mean, which conspiracy theories haven't come true at this point? We've run out of conspiracy theories because they've all come true as far as I can tell."
As the conversation progressed, Musk even joked about golfing on the moon to debunk hoax theories. The 54-year-old billionaire said with a wink, "Neil Armstrong, Neil A spelled backwards is Alien. We went to the moon a few times. We didn't just go there; we actually got a little bored and started playing golf on the moon. I literally did. Whacked a golf ball on the moon." The playful yet serious tone in his words added an element of humor to the discussion on extraterrestrial life and the mysteries of the universe.
