Elon Musk jokes about being an ‘alien’ and discusses interplanetary goals.
Tech mogul Elon Musk recently participated in a virtual session at the Viva Tech conference in Paris where he made lighthearted remarks about being an ‘alien’. When questioned about rumors surrounding his otherworldly origins as a joke, Musk laughed and claimed he often says he’s an alien but nobody believes him.
The session titled ‘Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Elon Musk But Were Afraid to Ask’ saw him discuss various topics remotely due to attending a family event.
On the subject of potential aliens on Earth, Musk clarified that he has not come across any evidence to substantiate such claims. However, if he did, he would upload it to the social media platform X for analysis. He remarked that humanity may be alone in the galaxy with fragile consciousness.
The SpaceX founder elaborated on the company’s long-term vision to establish a multi-planetary sustainable civilization, calling it crucial now when such a goal can be achieved for the first time in Earth’s history.
Musk opined an external threat could end life on our planet, emphasizing the need to relocate to Mars and the Moon for the species’ long-term survival. He outlined ambitions to make human habitation of other celestial bodies achievable as insurance against Earth-based risks.
Touching upon artificial intelligence progress, the billionaire advocated for AI training rooted in honesty over political correctness. He expressed optimism that GrokAI would serve as a rigorous, truthful, and humorous conversational model this year.
