According to Elon Musk, he is a 3,000-year-old extraterrestrial time traveller who is attempting to return to his native planet.

Following his endorsement of Donald Trump in the presidential election, the billionaire has made a number of audacious statements this year.

Musk was appointed head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after Trump’s victory.

Although it isn’t a government agency, Musk has pledged to slash $2 trillion, and the group will examine the federal budget from an outside perspective.

However, things may only grow stranger just when you think you’ve heard it everything.

He is a “3,000-year-old time-traveling and vampire alien,” according to the Tesla CEO.

Musk appears to devote a significant amount of effort to generating content for his personal social media account, X, which was originally Twitter.

Making light of his presence on the site, the SpaceX CEO shared a meme which 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”.

In response, one user wrote, “You don’t sleep because you’re a vampire?”

Along with their reply, they shared a previous tweet from Musk which read: “Full disclosure, I’m actually a 3,000 year old vampire. It’s such a trial assuming all these false identities over the centuries!”

Musk told the user, “I’m a time-traveling vampire,” before claiming to be an “alien”.

Other users responded to the billionaire on X as well.

“ELON, WHY ARE YOU STILL AWAKE?” was written by one person.

“Elon has memes on standby for any situation lmao,” someone else said.

And a third person added, “It’s nice knowing that Elon also has insomnia like the rest of us.”

Trump has disclosed that DOGE will carry out a “complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government, and making recommendations for drastic reforms” in relation to Musk’s new position.

In a statement, Musk said, “This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!”

On July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the writing of the Declaration of Independence, the department will cease operations and cease to exist full-time.

According to Trump, the nation will receive a “gift” on that day in the form of a more effective administration.

At a rally, the president-elect spoke about Musk’s role, saying, “I don’t think I can get him full-time because he’s a little bit busy sending rockets up and all the things he does.”

“He said the waste in this country is crazy. And we’re going to get Elon Musk to be our cost-cutter.”
