When you are the richest man in the world and the owner of one of the most popular social media networks online, you are going to make it into the news on occasion. That is especially true if you say some strange things along the way.
Elon Musk falls into that category, and many people look to him as being a genius because he seems to be a machine when he works. He sets the standard for work in many ways, but sometimes he says things that just make you wonder what he could possibly be thinking.
That is true when recently, Musk confessed on his social media platform, X that he was actually a ‘3000-year-old time-traveling alien vampire.’ I know that it sounds strange for a billionaire to say this, and it was, but he is the one who said it!
I’m a time-traveling vampire!
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 24, 2024
It began when a meme was shared by Musk on November 24. It said: “Would you believe it. My neighbor was knocking on my door at 2:30 this morning. Luckily, I was still up, playing my bagpipes.”
That’s when the comments started, and one person even joked that he must not have been sleeping because he is ‘a vampire.’ In order to prove it, they even shared a screenshot of a comment from him previously, in which he admittedly said that he was a ‘3000-year-old vampire’.
Musk then complicated things by responding: “I’m a time-traveling vampire!”
That just caused more people to comment, including one person who thought he was an alien. In response, he commented: “Time-travelling, vampire alien” to correct himself.
We know it was a joke, but he had his page changed to reflect it. It now said: ‘verified since 3000 BCE.’
Some people were enjoying the joke and having some fun with it. They even commented that maybe he would be building some pyramids with Tesla tech.
There were also some who took things seriously, and admittedly took things too far. One of them commented: “With the amount he has accomplished, people start to talk. It’s natural and even justified. Even among giants, the dude is not normal. He also talks in a strange way, like English is not his first language.
“He knows it well, but his mind still hesitates, just slightly, because there is possibly another, more ancient language in there. Of course, I am just being conspiracy theory adventurous. He is overly accomplished and strange, not necessarily in a negative way, just strange, it makes you start to wonder.”
Maybe it’s time to step away from the screen at this point.
