As the search for extraterrestrial life seems to be gaining pace, the CEO of SpaceX, Elon Musk has broken his silence on what would happen if alien life is found.
He was speaking on 6 May at the Global Conference held by the Milken Institute, California, US.
Sadly, he claims that despite his space-surveillance tech he hasn’t seen anything as yet – but he has a plan in place for if he ever does.

Musk claims that he, and the 6,000 satellites of SpaceX, have never encountered alien-like activity, or had to nudge over for a UFO.
That’s despite recent scientists’ belief that they have made major progress in the search for alien life.
Furthermore, a Cambridge scientist believes an exoplanet has a ’50/50′ chance of alien life.
However, also the owner of X, Musk revealed that he will share the news of alien life on social media (where else) if he ever does find it.
Musk expressed a belief that human space probes may find remains of alien civilizations.
“I have seen no evidence of aliens,” he began.
“If I did, I would 100% post about it on X instantly! SpaceX has almost 6,000 satellites in orbit and not once have we ever had to move around aliens.”
In fact, the billionaire posted something to the same effect last month.
“I have seen no evidence for aliens and, with ~6000 satellites orbiting Earth, I think I would know,” he said, in response to a post about there being ‘conclusive evidence’ of alien life.
He also spoke about his desire for mankind to become a multi-planet civilization, going to places it has never visited before.
Describing humanity as ‘precarious’ and ‘rare’, he did express his belief that human civilization would easily colonize the whole galaxy if it were to last for a further million years.
He even outlined a plan for Mars travel that ‘almost anyone’ can afford.
Considering he accurately predicted the future of the world in an uncovered 1998 interview, we should probably listen to what he has to say.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
