Elon Musk has said that he is a “3,000-year-old time-travelling and identity-assuming vampire alien”.

In one post on X, Musk said he was tired of assuming other people’s identities over the centuries.

He recently took to X to comment on a number of historical posts about people he looks like.

Then at 2.30am, he shared a meme that claimed his neighbour was knocking on his door at 2.30 “this morning”, adding: “Luckily I was still up playing my bagpipes.”

Followers responded, asking why he was awake despite the ungodly hour.

An X user, who wanted to get to the truth of why Musk was still awake in the early hours, shared a screenshot of a historic tweet, where Musk claimed to be a 1914 fighter pilot.

Underneath the image he had written: “Full disclosure, I’m actually a 3000 year old vampire. It’s such a trial assuming these false identities over the centuries!”

“You don’t sleep because you’re a vampire?” the follower said.

And Musk responded: “I’m a time-travelling vampire!”

He then added: “Time-travelling, vampire alien.”
