Elon Musk: I’ve Seen No Evidence of Aliens, If I Did I’d Tweet It

EXCERPT:

MUSK: "Yeah, I’m, you know, very familiar with space stuff. And I’ve seen no evidence of aliens. So, I would immediately, you know, tweet it out, in a split second. That would probably be top tweet of all times. 'Found one, guys! Jackpot.' Eight billion likes, you know. Next level jackpot, if you find aliens. Like, I don’t think they’re keeping this under -- you know, it was like some general, I think in the 60s, where they were saying like, 'Show us the aliens,' like Area 51, etc. And he said, like, 'Listen, we are constantly trying to get the defense budget to expand. And you know what would really get no arguments from anyone? If we pull out an alien and said we need money to protect ourselves from these guys.' 'How much money do you want? You got it! They look dangerous.' So, the fastest way to get a defense budget increase would be to pull out an alien, you know. It'd be like, 'Yeah, could be an invasion, they could be arriving any minute. Who knows?'”
