However, Elon Musk disagreed with Carlson. He posted on X, “I have seen no evidence for aliens and, with ~6000 satellites orbiting Earth, I think I would know.”
Elon Musk has been known for making big statements that often make the headlines. He seems to have a keen interest in aliens and the extraterrestrial life. In 2018, he posted on X, “it is unknown whether we are the only civilization currently alive in the observable universe,” which he later interpreted as – there would be an added impetus for extending life beyond Earth.
He has become a major defense contractor in the US because of his work at SpaceX, where he launches rockets and satellites for the US military.
Starlink, which is a satellite internet constellation, a wholly owned subsidiary of SpaceX, played a critical role in the Ukraine war.
Musk is currently busy with the expansion of Tesla and SpaceX. He had postponed his April visit to India and meeting with the Prime Minister about the launch of Tesla in the Indian market to later this year due to the ongoing “heavy workload” in the companies he owns. He has been focusing on expanding in the Asian region because it is a huge potential market for him.
