Elon Musk says he is an 'alien'

Elon Musk said Friday on Twitter that he is an alien in response to a tweet from CRED founder Kunal Shah, where he sought to understand how the SpaceX CEO is able to manage multiple companies.

"Elon musk may end up running 4+ 500 billion companies simultaneously at a relatively young age," Shah said. He further added, "What I want to really understand: how does he do it? How does he manage context switching? How does he design his Org? So many questions."

Shah then tagged Musk in a reply calling upon the Tesla boss to answer his question, while also dubbing the South African as the "dark lord."

Having seen the tweet, Musk responded: "I'm an alien."

Musk, a popular figure on Twitter has been in the news lately for the Bitcoin rally that he induced on the social media platform.

The Tesla chief, considered to be a 'meme lord' of sorts, has over 46 million followers on Twitter.

That Musk called himself an alien should perhaps not come as a surprise given his company SpaceX's ambitions of sending earthlings to neighbouring Mars.
