In recent days, a surprising boat has been circulating on the internet, generating debates and theories among Elon Musk fans and science fiction enthusiasts. According to some viral messages, the billionaire and founder of SpaceX has declared that he is, in fact, a time traveler over 3,000 years old, trying to return to his home planet.
The rumor began with an edited video circulating on social media, in which Musk responded to a question about his innovative ideas with the cryptic phrase: “I’m interested.” While the tech mogul has joked about being otherworldly in several instances, that statement has been taken out of context and amplified by various conspiracy theories.
Some internet users point out that his exceptional intelligence, his interest in space exploration and his reflections on the future of humanity are evidence that he may, in fact, be a being from another planet. Others believe that it is all just a joke or an attempt to go viral to draw attention to his projects.
So far, Musk has not made any official statement on the matter, but that has not stopped the boat from continuing to grow. Several memes have emerged, associating the businessman with science fiction characters and discovering that his mission is to colonize Mars not for humans, but to return to his own civilization.
Regardless of the veracity of the story, the fact is that Elon Musk continues to be one of the most influential and controversial figures in the contemporary world. His impact on the space industry, artificial intelligence and electric mobility makes many people see him as a visionary, while others see him as an eccentric full of impossible ideas
Whether or not he is a dedicated 3,000-year-old, only time will tell. Until then, netizens have continued to speculate and create new theories about the true origin of the man behind SpaceX and Tesla.
