Elon Musk has stirred up social media once again, this time jokingly claiming he is a “3,000-year-old time-traveling vampire alien.” The billionaire made the comments on X (formerly Twitter) in response to fans questioning his late-night meme posting. When one user suggested he was a vampire because he was awake at 2:30 a.m., Musk replied, “I’m a time-traveling vampire!” He later elaborated, adding “alien” to the mix and changing his profile verification to read “verified since 3000 BCE.”
Fans and critics alike had a field day with the quip. Some played along with the joke, calling Musk “the most interesting man in history” and speculating on whether he used Tesla technology to build the pyramids. One user humorously noted, “We’ve never seen Elon Musk and a pre-dynastic Pharaoh in the same room.” Others took a more serious tone, reflecting on Musk’s accomplishments and unique communication style, with one fan musing, “He’s overly accomplished and strange… It makes you start to wonder.”
While the majority of reactions were lighthearted, Musk’s playful comments sparked some deeper intrigue. As always, his unconventional approach to social media left his audience amused, bewildered, and, in some cases, questioning his origins.
