Why people think Elon Musk is ‘alien’—and what sparked the buzz

This week is full of twists and shocking revelations. First, the release of UFO files by the Trump administration, now the internet erupts over a viral theory that Elon Musk is actually an alien.

Now the question arises: What really sparked this buzz all of sudden? Was it any evidence in UFO files or is it just a conspiracy theory?

The hype started to gain momentum over the viral comments of Binance founder. Changpeng Zhao in an interview with Crypto Banter's Ran Neuner, jokingly said Elon Musk is an "alien."

"My theory is that he is an alien. He wants to return to his home planet, and Mars is just a stepping stone."

The quip came hours after the Pentagon released new UFO files with photos and reports from decades of sightings.

Binance founder’s remarks took the internet by storm, urging fans and other notable personalities to share their wild theories regarding the true identity of Elon Musk.

One user on X alias of Real President Trump Commentary wrote, “It’s very possible that @elonmusk is an alien. He is very smart, works unlike any human being that I know. He never sleeps…and has created electric cars, neuro stimulators, rockets and artificial intelligence. The aliens have been here all along!”

Another user wrote, “I'm not saying he is, but if it came out that Elon was an extraterrestrial after all. Most folks would be like, okay. Makes sense.”

Amid this wild discussion, some users also posted a video of Musk, in which he claimed to be an alien.

"I keep telling people I'm an alien, but nobody believes me. When I got my green card, it said alien registration card. So, I have proof from the government,” the CEO of SpaceX said in a video which surfaced recently.
