Elon Musk told a global tech audience that he is an alien during a remote appearance at VivaTech in Paris, a summit for technological start-ups.
When asked by an event host if some people believe he is an alien, Musk, 52, laughed and responded, “I am an alien – yes, I keep telling people I’m an alien. But nobody believes me.”
Speaking via webcam, Musk added that if he could provide proof of alien life, he would share it on X (formerly Twitter).
Musk, born in Transvaal, South Africa, in 1971, holds US and Canadian citizenship. At the event, he warned that artificial intelligence poses a more immediate threat to humans than extraterrestrials, predicting that AI could eliminate every job on Earth.
“Probably none of us will have a job,” he stated. Musk suggested that future employment would be optional, with jobs becoming hobbies as AI and robots take over providing all necessary goods and services.
