Anyone else surprised to hear he doesn’t believe in aliens?
Just in case anyone was asking for it, Elon Musk has delivered his verdict on whether aliens exist or not to his 49.5 million followers.
As Musk’s Twitter continues to descend into nothing more than memes and doge coin cheerleading, it is genuinely no shock to see this sort of thing appear. It is nice to see that with not a lot going on in the world, Musk really has his priorities sorted and is focusing on the important things.
The argument is pretty straight-forward: why is every pic of a UFO so blurry when camera technology has improved so much over recent decades?

Now the comments on this one are a real wormhole, with the line between which replies are genuine and which are not completely blurred. One user made it a very good point that this is exactly what an alien would tweet, with several others suggesting that Musk could be a visitor from another, which – let’s be honest – wouldn’t be a huge shock would it.
Of course a lot of conspiracy theorists landed in the comments as well, with mentions of ‘what’s going on in the Pentagon,’ cover ups and simulations.

The difference between the debate of whether UFOs have ever visited Earth or not, and whether there is extra-terrestrial life in the galaxy is pretty stark though. Most people would agree that we have never been visited by aliens, but the chances of humans being the only form of life in the universe are so ridiculously small that it can’t be the case.
But if we ever are visited by another life form, you can be sure that Musk will probably be right at the front of the queue to meet them. Probably to tell them to invest in a cryptocurrency.
That’s probably enough Twitter for today.
