Elon Musk claims to be '3,000-year-old time-traveling alien'

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk claimed to be a vampire alien with the ability to travel through time. The wealthiest person on earth stated in one post that he was sick of taking on the identities of others for centuries.

Musk has developed a habit of making himself and others laugh with some outrageous remarks on social media, per Daily Star. He commented on several historical posts about people that he vaguely resembles during his most recent act.

Musk's first post, which came at around 2.30 am ET, was a meme stating that his neighbor knocked on his door at 2.30 "this morning," adding, "Luckily I was still up playing my bagpipes."

Previously in 2020, Musk claimed to be a 1914 fighter pilot by writing on X: "Full disclosure, I’m actually a 3000 year old vampire. It’s such a trial assuming all these false identities over the centuries!"

Putting aside the vampire jokes, Musk, 53, has been open about his exercise routine and dedication to aging well.

"The older I get, the harder [it is] to stay lean, that’s for sure," he admitted to Joe Rogan in a 2020 episode of 'The Joe Rogan Experience' podcast.

Musk also mentioned in the interview that he enjoyed eating "tasty food" and wished he could skip working out, per a CNBC story at the time.

Though Musk has a personal trainer, he reportedly admitted that they haven't worked out together in "a while". Rather, he claimed to "lift some weights" by himself.

Fans abuzz over Elon Musk's 'time-traveling, vampire alien' claim

Elon Musk's initial post went live at almost 2.30 am ET but despite the odd hour, it was not surprising that the man with over 200 million followers on the platform received some responses.

Many people were curious about what the wealthiest man in the world was doing at that moment, as evidenced by the comment made by one user, "Elon why are you still awake."

Another X user joked, "You don’t sleep because you’re a vampire?"

"I'm a time-travelling vampire!" Musk retorted, before making a correction by adding, "Time-travelling, vampire alien."

Another X user remarked, "Sleep is for those who still don’t know they’re in the matrix."

Another person commented, sharing a screenshot of Musk's most recent X profile, saying: "Elon Musk’s X Profile says he’s verified since 3000 BCE. Yesterday, he posted that he is a time-traveling, vampire alien."

The entrepreneur was intrigued by the post, resharing it and responding, "See, this proves that I’m a time-traveling vampire alien! Even though I’m 5000 years old, I think I look much younger."

One user commented, "Maybe he lived in my village in Scotland, it's been constantly inhabited since 3000 BC, the oldest village in the UK."

"Omg it might be true. Look at this picture I found from the 1920s..." quipped another.

Another said, "I knew you were an alien the day you made space rockets reusable Elon."

"Elon Musk has been spotted as far back as 1892. He's either a vampire alien, or Tesla already created a time machine, and Elon's trolling us from the past," said one.
