Elon Musk: If I Knew There Were Aliens, I Would’ve Already Tweeted It
On the second night of Twitter CEO Elon Musk’s highly publicized interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, the SpaceX founder said he’s not aware of the existence of aliens—but if he was, he would’ve already tweeted about it.
“A lot of people ask me where are the aliens, and I think if anyone would know about aliens on Earth, it would probably be me,” said Musk, whose spacecraft manufacturer in 2020 became the first privately owned company to transport astronauts to the International Space Station.
“I’m very familiar with space stuff, and I’ve seen no evidence of aliens,” he continued. “So, I would immediately tweet it out in a split second and it would probably be the top tweet of all time… Eight billion likes, you know—next level jackpot if you find aliens.”
