With 6,000 Starlink satellites orbiting Earth, billionaire Elon Musk has made statements regarding UFOs and extraterrestrial civilizations.
Extraterrestrials, or beings from outer space, have long been a deep-seated hypothesis in our imagination, influencing our thoughts about how the universe operates.

To date, opinions on extraterrestrials largely fall into two main categories: support and skepticism. CEO and founder of SpaceX, Elon Musk, did not clearly state his opinion but asserted that aliens have never visited Earth.
This statement was made during a seminar titled “How to Save Humanity and Other Issues,” organized by the Milken Institute on May 7.
During the seminar, Elon Musk expressed interest in a question from House Speaker and investor Michael Milken regarding missions to search for extraterrestrial life and the presence of such beings around us.

The American billionaire also explained why he does not believe in the hypothesis that aliens have visited Earth.

According to Musk, SpaceX operates a system of 6,000 Starlink satellites, likened to “eyes” in low Earth orbit, yet has never found any compelling evidence of extraterrestrial life or any unusual flying objects (UFOs).
“I haven’t seen any evidence of aliens,” billionaire Elon Musk emphasized. “With 6,000 satellites in orbit, we’ve never had to maneuver to avoid UFOs.”
“If anyone has evidence of extraterrestrials, you know, I would love to see it, as well as hear about it,” Musk added.
Nevertheless, the SpaceX CEO still values the efforts to search for extraterrestrial civilizations. He believes that even if an ancient civilization could only exist for a million years, it could easily address many unresolved issues and even provide answers to the formation of the universe.
Once again, when asked about the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, Musk simply stated that “they could exist.”
“We should really view human civilization as a small candle in the vast darkness. All life around us is uncertain and extremely rare,” Musk remarked.
