Elon Musk in a recent interview has shared his perspectives regarding the existence of aliens, sightings of UFOs, and widespread internet conspiracy theories.
While talking to Kattie Miller on her recent podcast, SpaceX CEO dismissed the alien evidence despite SpaceX close tracking of orbits.
“I have seen no evidence of aliens, no one on the SpaceX senior team has any evidence of aliens. He actually asked senior members of the SpaceX team about it, all of whom say they have never seen any,” Musk explained.
He also called UFOs likely human tech like hypersonic missiles. Musk attributed UFO sightings to be advanced weapons programs designed by the United States government.
He added, “That’s just an unidentified flying object. It could be some new weapons program or some hypersonic missile or something like that. That would be technically a UFO, but it’s just basically some weapons prototype. It’s not like aliens.”
Upon being asked, “What's a conspiracy theory you believe in?” Tesla CEO replied, “I mean, which conspiracy theories haven't come true at this point? We have run out of conspiracy theories because they’ve all come true as far as I can tell.”
During the podcast, Musk also joked about golfing on the moon to debunk hoax theories.
The 54-year-old billionaire said, “Neil Armstrong, Neil A, spelled backwards is Alien. We went to the moon a few times. We did not just go to the moon. We actually got a little bored and started playing golf on the moon. I literally did. Whacked a golf ball on the moon."
