Elon Musk isn't convinced there are aliens out there: 'We're the aliens'

Elon Musk says there's been no signs of aliens in his SpaceX work.
  • Elon Musk says has hasn't seen "evidence of aliens" in his career of galactic exploration.
  • Musk spoke about SpaceX's Starship, outer space, and more at a conference on Thursday.
  • The SpaceX CEO has previously joked about his relationship with aliens and even identified as one.

Elon Musk says he hasn't seen any signs of aliens during his explorations of outer space.

The SpaceX CEO spoke at the 74th International Astronautical Congress where he was rewarded the World Space Award. During his interview, Musk went on a tangent about his theory on aliens.

"People often ask me if I'm seeing any evidence of aliens — and I unfortunately have seen no evidence of aliens yet," Musk said. "We are the aliens," he joked.

The topic of discussion was Musk's Starship mega-rocket, which makes the SpaceX's Falcon 1 look like "a child's toy," Musk said.

But the tech billionaire made sure to also mention his thoughts on extraterrestrial life.

He said his observations suggest that "humanity is all that exists in a vast darkness." In other words, that we're all alone.

Musk once talked about aliens with Twitter employees in June 2022 before he purchased the company. In the talk, he said he hadn't seen "actual evidence for aliens."

Still, Musk has joked about the existence of life outside of Earth — and has even suggested he may be an alien walking among us. If an alien paid this planet a visit, he's also said he'd be the one of the first to know.

Musk said his new artificial intelligence company, xAI, could help humans solve issues related to contacting aliens if they do exist.
