Well, it was only a matter of time really until this happened. SpaceX owner and founder, Elon Musk, has declared he’s not human – but in fact, he’s an alien. Nope, really. Musk took to the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos to discuss tariffs, the future of autonomous driving and the threat of robots or AI surpassing humans. However, in the process, he managed to make an awkward joke about Greenland in what appeared to be a dig at US President Donald Trump’s controversial Board of Peace. And declared that he is, in fact, an alien.

During his speech, Musk said to the crowd: ‘I’m often asked: Are there aliens among us? And I’ll say that I am one.’ Fink asked: ‘You’re from the future? ‘They don’t believe me,’ Musk replied. ‘I think if anyone would know if there were aliens among us, it would be me.’ Musk added that if alien life did exist, he is sure his more than 9,000 Starlink satellites he launched into space under his company, SpaceX, would be capable of detecting UFOs and other alien activity. He said: ‘We have 9,000 satellites up there, and not once have we had to manoeuvre around an alien spaceship.’ ‘Bottom line is we need to assume that life and consciousness are extremely rare, and it might only be us. ‘If that’s the case, we need to do everything possible to ensure that the light of consciousness is not extinguished.’ Not everyone has welcomed Musk’s appearance at the World Economic Forum. British political campaign group named Everyone Hates Elon voiced its opposition to Musk, calling for the world’s wealthiest people to pay tax.
