Elon Musk has invested heavily in space travel, leading to speculation that he has connections with aliens. This is all the more surprising when Elon Musk confirms it. According to Elon Musk, he is a 3,000-year-old extraterrestrial time traveller who is attempting to return to his native planet.

Elon Musk Claims to Be a 3,000-Year-Old Alien Vampire—and Trump Wants Him to Slash $2 Trillion From the U.S. Budget

Elon Musk, the ever-enigmatic billionaire and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has once again set the internet ablaze—this time by claiming he’s a 3,000-year-old time-traveling vampire alien trying to return to his home planet.

Hot on the heels of his public endorsement of Donald Trump in the presidential election, Musk has unleashed a flurry of bold statements, each more audacious than the last. Following Trump’s victory, Musk was (supposedly) appointed head of the newly-minted Department of Government Efficiency—cheekily abbreviated as DOGE, a nod to the meme cryptocurrency.

Despite DOGE not being an official government agency, Musk has vowed to slash an eye-watering $2 trillion from federal spending. The group, he says, will scrutinize the federal budget with a fresh, outsider’s perspective.

But just when you think things couldn’t get any stranger, Musk leans into his reputation for internet mischief. The Tesla CEO, known for his prolific meme-sharing on X (formerly Twitter), posted a tongue-in-cheek meme:
“Would you believe it, my neighbor was knocking on my door at 2:30 this morning. Luckily I was still up playing my bagpipes.”

A follower quipped back, “You don’t sleep because you’re a vampire?”—attaching an old tweet where Musk joked, “Full disclosure, I’m actually a 3,000 year old vampire. It’s such a trial assuming all these false identities over the centuries!”

Musk replied, “I’m a time-traveling vampire,” before upping the ante and calling himself an “alien.”

The banter didn’t go unnoticed. One user exclaimed, “ELON, WHY ARE YOU STILL AWAKE?” Another commented, “Elon has memes on standby for any situation lmao.” A third added, “It’s nice knowing that Elon also has insomnia like the rest of us.”

Meanwhile, Trump has announced that DOGE will conduct a “complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government, and make recommendations for drastic reforms.” Musk himself declared, “This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!”

DOGE is set to disband on July 4, 2026—the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence—after delivering what Trump calls a “gift” to the nation: a leaner, more efficient government.

At a recent rally, Trump joked about Musk’s new role: “I don’t think I can get him full-time because he’s a little bit busy sending rockets up and all the things he does. He said the waste in this country is crazy. And we’re going to get Elon Musk to be our cost-cutter.”

Whether he’s a time-traveling alien or just a billionaire with a sharp sense of humor, one thing is clear—Elon Musk knows how to keep the world watching.
