Apparently, Musk isn’t a believer in the whole “Ancient Aliens” theory.
Seems like an opportune moment to bring up the Fermi Paradox, aka "where are the aliens?" Really odd that we see no sign of them.

Musk might be The Terminator. But apparently, he’s of this Earth:
The rumor that I'm building a spaceship to get back to my home planet Mars is totally untrue
