Do you think Elon Musk is an alien? Guess what the ‘Meme Lord’ said
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who is quite active on Twitter, is often known to share his thoughts about Mars, electric vehicles, and cryptocurrency.
However, he is not just restricted to some of these 21st century’s biggest revolutions, he can also talk about other things too, like “He is an alien”.
Recently, a Twitter page called ‘Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley’ asked Elon Musk whether he is an alien.
The Twitter handle shared a short video of Elon Musk from a conference in which someone had asked Musk about the existence of aliens.
To which, Musk responded by saying," Aliens exist in Physics and Philosophy".
He then added, “Aliens could be among us…some people think I am an alien”.
After a pause, Musk said “Not True”.
The ‘Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley’ captioned Musk’s video as, “Is Elon Musk an alien?”
And, guess what! Musk wrote, “Of Course”.

Though Musk did not reply to the question of which planet he is from–Mars or Uranus.

However, this is not the first time he replied this way to such queries. Earlier in April, Musk gave the same response when a Twitter user had asked him: “Are you an alien?”

“Obviously,” he replied.

In February, when Cred founder Kunal Shah asked Musk about tricks to efficiently manage an organisation. At that time also, Musk said that he was an alien.
Elon musk may end up running 4+ 500 billion companies simultaneously at a relatively young age.
What I want to really understand: how does he do it? How does he manage context switching? How does he design his Org?
So many questions. — Kunal Shah (@kunalb11) February 11, 2021

Elon Musk Confirms He’s, In fact, an Alien. Space Explorations Can Come Home
Aliens are among us and it is the Tesla CEO and SpaceX boss Elon Musk. While there are no photos or videos (yet) of Musk riding a UFO, the fact that the tech mogul has yet again admitted to the fact that he is not from Earth shall convince the Neil deGrasse Tysons of the world that aliens do exist. It all started on Sunday morning when Teslaman was tagged in a video wherein Musk was quizzed about the existence of aliens. Shared by a Twitter user who goes by the username ‘Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley,’ Musk says: “Aliens exist in Physics and Philosophy," before adding: “Aliens could be among us… some people think I am an alien." He takes a brief pause and says, “Not true."

However, responding to the Twitter user’s question, Musk says: Of course. The user had captioned the video by writing: “Is Elon Musk an alien?"
This, somehow, isn’t the first time Musk had to deal with otherworldly questions and queries on the Internet.
Earlier this year, in response to one of the tweets by Musk, a Twitter user asked if he was an alien. Musk dropped a one-word reply, “Obv" which meant Obviously. The user was overwhelmed by Musk’s reply and tweeted, “I’m shaking rn.”
The user had asked this question in response to a tweet by Musk, which read, “The Earth is not flat, it’s a hollow globe and Donkey King lives there."

In February this year, Musk had tweeted “I’m an alien," in response to a tweet by an Indian entrepreneur and founder of credit payment app CRED, Kunal Shah.
Musk has a roaring fan following among young entrepreneurs and everybody wants to understand his working style and thought process. Asking his set of questions, Shah had tweeted, “Elon musk may end up running 4+ 500 billion companies simultaneously at a relatively young age. What I want to really understand: how does he do it? How does he manage context switching? How does he design his Org? So many questions.”

The tech billionaire had also riled up the Internet when he posted a hot take on aliens in a tweet. Musk shared a meme graph of how there was never any 1080p HD resolution videos or photos of aliens. In the tweet, he showed two graphs, one depicting how camera resolution has gradually gotten better over time, vs how footage of UFO sightings has always continued in a linear graph, moving forward in time, never moving upward.

He captioned the tweet with the meme, “Strongest argument against aliens."

Elon Musk’s meme skills recognized by Walt Disney Co’s Executive Chairman
By
Elon Musk is many things. He’s a visionary, an engineer, and an optimist to a fault. But more than this, he is also, at his Twitter core, an absolute meme enthusiast. In between insights on SpaceX’s remarkable feats at Starbase and updates on Tesla’s most ambitious projects like Full Self-Driving, Musk tends to post memes on a consistent basis, at times as an apparent form of social commentary and sometimes just for plain, old fun.
This weekend was no different. After engaging Tesla owners and supporters about upcoming features for the company’s electric vehicles and commenting on rival Jef Bezos’ attempt to flood NASA with legal action and paperwork, Musk posted a Star Wars-inspired Stormtrooper meme. The meme was well appreciated by Twitter users, getting over 68k likes in a couple of hours.
Good one, Elon! — Robert Iger (@RobertIger) August 28, 2021
Musk’s Star Wars meme caught the funny bone of none other than Robert Iger, the Executive Chairman of The Walt Disney Company. Disney currently owns the Star Wars franchise, and while the entertainment giant’s continuation of the original three movies remains polarizing today, no one could deny that Star Wars’ continued prominence is in no small part due to Disney’s influence.
Interestingly enough, Tesla recently rolled out a feature to its vehicles that Iger likekly appreciated. Tesla’s recent 2021.24 update software update, which rolled out last month, introduced a number of new features, including access to Disney+ through Tesla Theater. The addition of Disney+ was widely praised by Tesla owners, especially those who are fond of taking long road trips with their kids.
Tesla has already rolled out Easter eggs from classic sci-fi movies like Back to the Future and Spaceballs for its EVs, but the company seems yet to introduce one that is inspired by Star Wars, at least not directly. The animation for the Model S and Model X’s Ludicrous Mode is practically identical to the Millennium Falcon’s hyperspace warp drive, but the mode itself is more of a reference to Spaceballs, which is a parody of Star Wars. It will not be surprising if Tesla introduces more Star Wars Easter eggs in the future, however.
Elon Musk is unique among his CEO peers for his tendency to use humor consistently, at times even poking fun at himself both online and offline. This was on display earlier this year when Musk co-hosted Saturday Night Live and participated in several of the long-running show’s skits. Musk also revealed during his SNL monologue that he has Asperger’s Syndrome.
