SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said during an interview this week that he has seen no evidence anywhere in the universe that suggests that aliens are real.

Musk told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that “if anyone would know about aliens on Earth it would probably be me.”

“To the best of my knowledge, we see no evidence of conscious life anywhere in the universe,” Musk said. “So it might be there. You know, in physics they call it sort of the Fermi paradox after when Enrico Fermi, he’s an amazing physicist, asked the fundamental question, where are the aliens?”

“I’ve seen no evidence of aliens,” Musk said, adding that if he did he would instantly post about it on Twitter — a company that he purchased late last year and where he currently serves as CEO.

Such a tweet would set the internet ablaze, joked Musk, who has 130 million Twitter followers.

“It’s the jackpot with some 8 billion likes, you know,” he said. “Next-level jackpot if you find the aliens.”

He said the military, which is often suspected of hiding knowledge about aliens, would be acting in its own interest to disclose an extra-terrestrial threat. He paraphrased a defense official who once said the Pentagon would get carte blanche from taxpayers if it produced an alien.

“You know, how much money do you want?” Musk said. “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. We’re like, ‘Yeah, I mean, it could be the invasion. It could be arriving any minute. Who knows?'”

Twitter CEO Elon Musk said during an interview Tuesday night that he believes that the U.S. might be on the verge of serious financial issues later this year due to a variety of factors.

Speaking to Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Musk said that the collapse of some major banking institutions like Silicon Valley Bank were an indicator that there are serious conditions on the horizon.

“We have a situation here where it’s not merely — it’s not that the canary in the coal mine has died, but the miners are starting to die, too,” he said. “Silicon Valley Bank collapsing overnight is a one hell of a big canary. … I think that there is a serious danger with the global banking system.”

Musk said that he believes that commercial real estate properties that have been vacated due to the pandemic will exacerbate problems for banks because those were considered to be hard assets that had a lot of value for the banks.

“So, we really haven’t seen the commercial real estate shoe drop,” he said. “That’s more like anvil, not a shoe. The stuff we’ve seen thus far actually hasn’t even — it’s only slightly real estate portfolio degradation, that will become a very serious thing later this year in my view.”

Musk warned that inflation was going to continue to get worse because the Fed won’t reduce interest rates during an election year.

“Inflation is going to happen no matter what,” Musk said.

Musk went on to slam the U.S. federal government for passing the COVID stimulus bills because they “were not paid for” and they greatly exacerbated inflation.

“As old saying goes, there’s no free lunch,” he said. “So if you could just issue massive amounts of money without negative consequences, why don’t we just take that to the limit, make everyone a trillionaire? They tried that in Venezuela. How’d that work out?”
