Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — Elon Musk, though not convinced of the existence of extraterrestrials, has made a bold promise: if he ever sees alien life firsthand, he will immediately post evidence on X (formerly Twitter).
In an interview with Fox News, the 53-year-old billionaire admitted that while he hasn’t seen anything conclusive regarding aliens, he wouldn’t keep quiet if he did.
“If I see evidence of aliens, I will post it on X within a fraction of a second,” Musk stated, as reported by Futurism on Tuesday (October 15, 2024).
Musk has his own theory about UFO sightings, suggesting they are likely related to military experiments rather than alien encounters. “There are many secret programs going on,” he explained, expressing doubt that extraterrestrials have ever visited Earth.
“Where are the aliens? Why haven’t I seen them?” Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, questioned. While many believe they have witnessed alien activity, Musk remains skeptical, having seen no evidence himself.
Interestingly, Musk’s view aligns with statements from the Pentagon, which also leans toward secret military projects as explanations for UFO sightings. However, unlike Musk, the U.S. military hasn’t made any promises to reveal alien evidence if discovered.
Despite operating over 6,000 Starlink satellites, Musk affirmed that SpaceX has never encountered any alien spacecraft. “We’ve never had to maneuver around an alien spaceship,” he said.
In a prior discussion at the Milken Institute Global Conference in May 2024, Musk echoed similar sentiments, acknowledging that while he doubts aliens have visited Earth, he doesn’t rule out the possibility of discovering ancient alien civilizations through space exploration.

Musk humorously addressed the topic of extraterrestrial life during his speech at the World Water Forum in Bali, attended by Indonesian President Joko Widodo. He suggested that if aliens ever visited Earth, they would probably rename the planet “Water,” given that 70% of its surface is covered by oceans.
“They would call this planet ‘Water,’ not ‘Earth,'” Musk quipped, offering a playful take on how extraterrestrials might perceive our world.
