Elon Musk claimed he is a time-traveling alien aged 3,000 years aiming to get back to his home planet.
The billionaire has issued numerous audacious statements this year after lending his support to Donald Trump in the election for president.
After Trump’s victory, Musk was appointed as the leader of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Although it is not a government agency, the organization will review the federal budget externally, and Musk has committed to implementing $2 trillion in reductions.
Yet, just when you believe you’ve encountered everything – situations can become even stranger.
Currently, the Tesla chief has asserted that he is ‘3,000-year-old time-traveling and a vampire alien’.
Musk appears to dedicate significant time to crafting posts on his social media site X, previously known as Twitter.
Minimizing his presence on the site, the SpaceX CEO posted a meme that stated: “Would you believe it, my neighbor was knocking on my door at 2.30 this morning.
“Luckily I was still up playing my bagpipes”.
In reply, one user commented: “You don’t sleep because you’re a vampire?”
In their response, they included an earlier tweet from Musk that stated: “Full disclosure, I’m actually a 3,000 year old vampire. It’s such a trial assuming all these false identities over the centuries!”
Musk replied to the user stating, “I’m a time-traveling vampire” before adding that he is also an ‘alien’.
Additional users also went to X to reply to the billionaire. A user commented: “ELON WHY ARE YOU STILL AWAKE.”
Another remarked: “Elon has memes on standby for any situation lmao.”
A third individual added: “It’s nice knowing that Elon also has insomnia like the rest of us.”
Regarding Musk’s new position, Trump announced that DOGE will carry out a ‘complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government, and making recommendations for drastic reforms’.
In a statement, Musk said: “This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!”
The department will not operate full-time and will conclude on July 4, 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence’s signing.
Trump stated that a more effective government will be a ‘benefit’ to the nation on that day.
During a rally, the president-elect addressed Musk’s involvement, stating:
“I don’t think I can get him full-time because he’s a little bit busy sending rockets up and all the things he does.
“He said the waste in this country is crazy. And we’re going to get Elon Musk to be our cost-cutter.”
