Elon Musk thinks that either there are many extraterrestrial beings there, or there are none at all. Both the thought of having many aliens and none at all is equally horrifying to him. In an interview, the CEO of SpaceX outlined the reasons.

Musk contends that, in the absence of extraterrestrial life, what humans have on Earth is incredibly scarce. He was making reference to the Enrico Fermi (Nobel Prize in Physics) Paradox. The Fermi Paradox seeks to answer the question, “Where are the aliens?”

Given that our solar system is relatively young compared to the rest of the universe (13.8 billion years vs. 4.5 billion), and that interstellar travel would be feasible given enough time, the hypothesis suggests that aliens should have previously visited Earth.

According to reports, Fermi said the aforementioned things in 1950 during a casual lunch conversation. Astrobiologists and other scientists have been perplexed by the implications ever since.

Elon Musk continued in the interview by saying that he had never seen any concrete proof of aliens. On that subject, he was questioned regarding his viewpoint on UFOs (UFOs). He clarified that those might be connected to top-secret military programmes.
