Elon Musk is, let us say, an enigma wrapped in a conundrum.
The puzzle: who is this man now so famous in so many realms, from big business to high-tech to UFOs, and now to Hollywood, media, and politics?
We’ll keep the politics out of it.
Musk is interesting as is. He is “worth” a cool $246 billion. That’s more than Switzerland’s annual revenues.
Was he just kidding when he told a mega-podcaster he was an alien? Or does he really believe that?
Born in Transvaal, South Africa, in 1971, Musk holds U.S. and Canadian citizenships. Joking about his extraterrestrial origins, he added that if he could provide proof of alien life, he would share it on the social medium X (he has two hundred million followers). Warning against artificial intelligence, he says that it’s more dangerous than aliens or extraterrestrials for mankind, notes the Economic Times.
One is made to wonder, then, why he is so involved in it.
His company, Space X, now has more than six thousand small satellites in orbit. That’s called Space-Link.
It relies on contracts with “three-letter agencies” (CIA, NSA) and the Pentagon. It has subsumed some of NASA’s core functions.
His high-tech Tesla cars are now everywhere on the landscape.
He is heavily involved with robots.
He also has unveiled a car—a robotaxi—that will self-drive with no steering wheel or pedals (this takes courage).
He likes simple letters like “X” for what was once “Twitter” (which he purchased more than a year ago).
He named one of his (twelve) children “X AE A-XII Musk” (try pronouncing that, kindergarten teacher).
He is so prolific, as regards pregeneration, that he has donated his sperm dozens of times and backs in vitro fertilization to the max. He’d like to clone himself. He believes the sperm of “high-intelligence” people should be used. His first five boys came into this world via IVF, and the last girl was delivered using a surrogate mother. A recent headline:
Elon Musk, father of 12, denies volunteering his own sperm to help seed a colony on Mars
Very up to date—for certain. Appearing with a podcaster, he smoked marijuana on the air. But he isn’t spaced out: his enterprises work. And he catches on very quickly to many realms.
An atheist, he describes himself of late as a “cultural Christian.”
We’ll take that.
Some take issue with him, such as former White House advisor Steve Bannon, who labels Musk a “globalist” (and doesn’t trust his motives). Others have said (from what we can tell, without a shred of evidence) that as a youth he was abused or inducted in a satanic ritual. He is a very bright man who was accepted at Stanford (which he quit after two days).
But back to aliens:
Don’t a lot of those who have gone “viral” in the area of high-technomics seem a bit different?
We think here of Jeff Bezos.
And Zuckerberg.
Only ribbing.
Right?
Musk certainly has a strong fascination for space and UFOs.
“Egypt has invited billionaire Elon Musk to visit the country and see for himself that its famous pyramids were not built by aliens.
“The SpaceX boss had tweeted what appeared to be support for conspiracy theorists who say aliens were involved in the colossal construction effort.
“He also talked about the conspiracy theories regarding the aliens and said that some people believe that aliens don’t only exist, they live amongst us. But Musk also said that none of SpaceX’s missions to low earth orbit have encountered any signs of extraterrestrial life or unidentified flying objects.”
Okay, Elon.
We’ll take your word for it.
