Tech billionaire Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has once again set social media ablaze with his unique brand of humor and bold claims. Musk declared himself a “time-traveling, vampire alien” in a playful exchange on X (formerly Twitter), sparking a frenzy of curiosity and amusement among his followers.
The buzz began early this morning when Musk shared a meme about a neighbor knocking on his door at 2:30 am, ostensibly to complain about Musk playing bagpipes at that odd hour.
The meme, viewed over 7.6 million times, resonated with followers for its ironic humor. In response, an X user joked about Musk’s sleeplessness, suggesting he might be a vampire. Musk embraced the idea, replying, “I’m a time-traveling vampire!”
Another user speculated that Musk might actually be an alien. Taking the joke further, Musk clarified, “time-traveling, vampire alien,” cementing his new tongue-in-cheek persona.
The plot thickened when a user, “@DogeDesigner,” pointed out a peculiar detail on Musk’s X profile: it states his account has been verified since “3000 BCE.” Sharing a screenshot of the profile, they captioned it, “Elon Musk’s X Profile says he has been verified since 3000 BCE. Yesterday, he posted that he is a time-traveling, vampire alien.”
True to form, Musk responded, quipping, “Even though I’m 5000 years old, I think I look much younger.”
The 3000 BCE verification detail appears to be an intentional addition by Musk, fitting seamlessly with his playful portrayal of himself as a timeless entity. It is a humorous nod to his self-crafted “time-traveling, vampire alien” narrative.
In recent updates, Musk also changed his bio to reflect his political commentary, stating, “The people voted for major government reform,” following the Republican Party’s success in the recent U.S. elections.
Elon Musk’s humorous antics and enigmatic persona continue to keep his millions of followers entertained and engaged, proving once again that the tech mogul thrives on blending business with a dose of eccentricity.
