Elon Musk, the enigmatic CEO of SpaceX and owner of X (formerly Twitter), once again showcased his sharp wit, leaving social media users in splits. The billionaire quipped about being a “time-traveling, vampire alien” after users noticed a peculiar detail on his X profile, which stated he was “verified since 3000 BCE.”
The discovery that started it all
The lighthearted moment began when a user, DogeDesigner, spotted the unusual verification date on Musk’s profile. The finding quickly went viral, with fans speculating humorously about Musk’s extraterrestrial origins.
Responding to the speculation, Musk tweeted, “See, this proves that I’m a time-traveling vampire alien! Even though I’m 5000 years old, I think I look much younger.”
The tweet sparked a flurry of reactions and memes, with Musk’s playful reply fueling the narrative. When DogeDesigner jokingly suggested Musk might be using his Starship project to return to his home planet, Musk chimed in with an enthusiastic, “I mean… yeah ofc.”
The vampire meme at 2:30 a.m.
The banter began earlier in the night when Musk shared a humorous meme at 2:30 a.m., saying, “Would you believe it? My neighbor was knocking on my door at 2:30 this morning. Luckily, I was still up, playing my bagpipes.”
A fan teased Musk about his nocturnal habits, calling him a vampire. True to form, Musk played along, declaring himself a “time-traveling vampire.” When another user speculated he might also be an alien, Musk took it a step further, updating his self-proclaimed status to “time-traveling, vampire alien.”
Musk’s playful social media persona
Musk’s lighthearted exchanges have become a staple on X, where he often engages directly with fans and critics alike. From memes to imaginative banter, his posts frequently draw widespread attention.
In a previous social media moment, Musk shared an image of himself in an Iron Man-style suit, humorously claiming to wield the “power of irony” to defeat villains.
A surprising political twist
In a recent turn of events, Musk was appointed by President Donald Trump to co-lead the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Tasked with providing guidance on structural reform, the duo is expected to work with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget.
For now, Musk seems to be embracing his unofficial title as the “time-traveling vampire alien,” much to the delight of his fans worldwide.
