Do you believe Musk is an alien? At the recent VivaTech exhibition in Paris, Musk talked about the possibility of extraterrestrial life. He said, "Maybe we are alone in this galaxy. To be honest, I am an alien, but no one believes me."
Musk's remarks sparked heated discussions among netizens, with some netizens saying, "Musk has been committed to going to Mars because he actually wants to go home." "Some truths are often told in the form of jokes." However, some netizens believe that this is another humorous move by Musk, and another deep reflection on the future of mankind and extraterrestrial civilizations. It is worth noting that Musk has long revealed his views on aliens. Last December, Musk told the audience at an event in Italy, "People often ask me if I know anything about aliens. I haven't seen any evidence of aliens. Most likely, we are the only species with consciousness, at least in this part of the Milky Way." Last March, the United States shot down a UFO over Lake Huron in Michigan, near the Canadian border. Afterwards, Musk immediately wrote on Twitter: "Don't worry, that's just some of my alien friends stopping by..."
Musk has several companies, among which Tesla is a car manufacturing company focused on electric vehicles and renewable energy.
Musk has always had an interstellar dream. He once emphasized that human landing on the moon should not be the pinnacle of our civilization. Humans should build bases on the moon and cities on Mars to become a true interstellar civilization. For this dream, Musk has invested most of his funds in rocket launches.
On March 14, local time, on the 22nd anniversary of SpaceX's founding, that morning, SpaceX's most powerful giant rocket ever built, the "Super Heavy Starship," conducted its third test flight, successfully sending an unmanned upper stage rocket into space. Data shows that in 2023, there were 223 launch vehicles launched worldwide, of which SpaceX launched 98, accounting for 45% of the global total. A total of 2,945 satellites were launched worldwide, of which SpaceX launched 2,514, accounting for 87% of the global total. In January this year, Musk revealed the company's 2024 and long-term plans. Musk said that SpaceX plans to carry out 144 launches in 2024, maintaining its annual growth rate of 50%.
In addition, Musk said, "I wonder what it will be like in eight years? If we're lucky, maybe we'll send humans to Mars in eight years."
