Elon Musk Opens Up About

Alien Theory in Bali

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Elon Musk talked about the alien theory and another name for Earth at the opening of the World Water Forum in Bali.

As someone who is active in the rocket industry and space exploration, the CEO of SpaceX admits that he often gets questions about aliens.

Musk thinks people often want to know what he thinks about intelligent life outside Earth.

He argued that aliens who stopped by or saw Earth would have given it a different name.

“If aliens come here, many people think they have already come here. People always ask me about aliens,” said Musk. “They will name [this planet] water, [not Earth],” Musk said on stage at the opening of the World Water Forum in Bali, quoted Wednesday (22/5/2024).

Musk explained that “water” was the name that aliens would give to the planet where humans live, not Earth. The reason is that the majority of the planet’s surface visible from space is water, not land or earth.

Musk believes that all water problems can be solved by humans. The reason is that water resources on Earth are very abundant.

“The potential to solve water problems is very good because there is so much water. Some require desalinization, but that is an energy issue,” he said.

The problem of energy for desalinization, he explained, can now be solved by alternative energy sources, namely solar energy.

Musk explained that the emergence of the electric vehicle industry, including through his company Tesla, means that the cost of generating solar energy and batteries is now much cheaper.
