Elon Musk claims to have evidence proving he's an alien

Just when people thought Elon Musk, the owner of social media platform X, couldn't get quirkier, he goes on and claims to be an alien and that he has the evidence to prove it.

During an interview at the Viva Tech event, Musk, 52, once again maintained his responses with a mix of humour and audacity like he often does. 

He portrayed his quirkiness when the host jokingly suggested that some people think he might be an alien and the Tesla CEO agreed to the claim right away with a straight face.

"Some people believe that you are an alien," the host asked Musk.

"I am an alien," Musk replied gleefully. "Yes, I keep telling people I'm an alien, but nobody believes me," he insisted.

The tech billionaire never ceases to make people wonder if he's serious or he's just joking around as observed in his posts on X.

However, this time he promised to share the proof on social media. He also shared some insights about his belief that humans give artificial intelligence meaning and purpose.

Musk said: "I do think there's perhaps still a role for humans, in that we give AI meaning. So, if you think about the way that our brain works: we've got the limbic system, which is our instincts and our feelings. And then we've got the cortex, which is thinking and planning.

"But the cortex is constantly trying to make the limbic system happy. So maybe that's how it will be with AI. The AI is trying to make that cortex happy, which is trying to make our limbic system happy. And maybe we are what will give the AI meaning or purpose. at the event."
