Elon Musk previously stated on Twitter that he is an alien, but it seems the billionaire has had a change of opinion with a recent post that questions the existence of aliens.
‘Strongest argument against aliens,’ Musk tweeted, along with two charts that shows camera resolution has advanced, but UFO pictures have remained the same.
The post concludes that extraterrestrials do not exist, due to most images showing floating blobs, but many of the comments argue otherwise.
One user responded with ‘that’s exactly what an alien would tweet,’ while another explains that most cameras ‘are only capturing 400-700 nanometers’ and are not capable of capturing ‘true reality.’

Musk, who is the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, posted the tweet in the early hours of Tuesday.
It has since received more than 11,000 comments, 41,000 shares and 400,000 likes.
Many of his bizarre tweets typically garnish a lot of attention, but due to Musk’s reputation in the space industry this one sparked a debate.
Artificial Intelligence scientist Lex Fridman was among those who disagree with the tweet, who said ‘this is exactly what an alien would tweet.’
Entrepreneur Amit Paranjape added to the thousands of comments with the fact that since the birth of smartphones, random UFO sightings have dropped.
Twitter user ‘Evilspot’ is seems to not believe Musk’s claim saying: ‘He does believe aliens are real…its just kinda of upsetting that every ‘ufo sightings’ are like 180p or something..why are the images always look like crap!’
And another user by the name of ‘Ash WSB’ said ‘the issue is Aliens move very fast.’
Musk has shown a flip-flopping opinion when it comes to life beyond our world.
Not only has he tweeted ‘I am an alien,’ but also made the claim in 2020 that the Egyptian pyramids were made by extraterrestrials.
The tweet gave credit to ‘aliens’ for building the pyramids in Giza near Cairo in July 2020.
‘Aliens built the pyramids obv,’ he wrote.
The bizarre message, however, prompted a response from Egypt’s Minister of International Cooperation, Rania al-Mashat.
‘I follow your work with a lot of admiration’ wrote al-Mashat via Twitter.
‘I invite you & Space X to explore the writings about how the pyramids were built and also to check out the tombs of the pyramid builders. Mr. Musk, we are waiting for you,’ she added.
Musk seemed to take the claim back in a follow up social media post linking to an article describing how the pyramids were more likely built by humans living in an Egyptian settlement.
‘This BBC article provides a sensible summary for how it was done,’ Musk wrote, linking to a story with the headline, ‘The Private Lives of the Pyramid-builders’.
Musk’s current opinion that aliens do not exist comes just two days after the US government said it has evidence of UFOs breaking the sound barrier without a sonic boom and making maneuvers impossible with known technology, the former Director of National Intelligence has revealed.
John Ratcliffe, who served as Donald Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, said that many of the incidents still have no easy explanation.
‘There are a lot more sightings than have been made public,’ Ratcliffe told Fox News.
‘Some of those have been declassified.
‘And when we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain.
‘Movements that are hard to replicate that we don’t have the technology for. Or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.’
Ratcliffe told host Maria Bartiromo that the sightings of ‘unidentified aerial phenomena’ had been observed all around the world.
‘When we talk about sightings, the other thing I will tell you is, it’s not just a pilot or just a satellite, or some intelligence collection,’ Ratcliffe said.
‘Usually we have multiple sensors that are picking up these things, and some of these are unexplained phenomenon, and there is actually quite a few more than have been made public.’
