In case it slipped past you, the wealthiest individual on the planet, Elon Musk, has quite an unconventional personality and isn’t hesitant to flaunt it.
Elon Musk holds the title of the world’s richest person, so it’s understandable to assume he adheres to conventional practices and consistently offers PR-safe comments.
Well, that’s far from the case.
Even by his own unique standards, this latest episode has drawn some attention while simultaneously amusing others.
Musk humorously “confessed” to being a 3,000-year-old time-traveling alien vampire.
That’s definitely a lot to digest.
This all began on November 24, when Musk posted a meme on his page that read: “Would you believe it. My neighbor was knocking on my door at 2:30 this morning. Luckily, I was still up, playing my bagpipes.”
Twitter users questioned Musk’s late-night activity, with one humorously suggesting: “You don’t sleep because you’re a vampire?”
They included a screenshot of Musk’s previous comment where he jokingly admitted to being a ‘3000-year-old vampire’.
Musk replied: “I’m a time-travelling vampire!”
Following this, another user speculated that Musk might be an alien, prompting him to clarify, calling himself a ‘Time-travelling, vampire alien’.
So now you’re in the loop.
Musk took the jest a step further by altering his page to read ‘verified since 3000 BCE’.
Fans of Musk found the entire comedic episode highly entertaining.
One social media user commented: “3000 BCE? Time-traveling, vampire alien Elon Musk is officially the most interesting man in history (and prehistory).
“What’s next—building pyramids with Tesla tech?”
Another remarked: “The man, the myth, the legend, the time-traveling autistic vampire alien. I love it here.”
A third noted: “Come to think of it, we have not seen Elon Musk and a pre-dynastic period Pharaoh in the same room at the same time, have we..?”
However, some individuals began to take the joke more seriously than probably intended.
One fan 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.”
Perhaps it’s time to take a break from Twitter.
