Elon Musk calls himself a ‘time-travelling vampire alien’. Here’s how it all started

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has amused social media users after calling himself a “time-traveling vampire alien”.
It all started after Musk posted a meme at 2:30am on November 24 that said: “Would you believe it? My neighbour was knocking on my door at 2:30 this morning. Luckily, I was still up playing my bagpipes.” The caption of his post said: “Since it’s almost 2:30 ET”.
Responding to the meme, an X user said: “You don’t sleep because you’re a vampire?” to which Musk replied: “I’m a time-travelling vampire!”
This claim made by Musk triggered social media users to examine his profile on X. Soon after, an X user noticed that the Tesla CEO’s profile on the microblogging platform has been verified since 3000 BCE.
In a post on X on November 25, the user named DogeDesigner shared a screenshot of Musk’s verified account that said: “Verified since 3000 BCE.”
“Elon Musk’s X profile says he’s verified since 3000 BCE. Yesterday, he posted that he is a time-travelling, vampire alien,” DogeDesigner captioned the post.
Musk, then, shared DogeDesigner’s post and said: “See, this proves that I’m a time-travelling vampire alien! Even though I’m 5000 years old, I think I look much younger.”
Elon Musk’s X profile humorously claims it has been verified “since 3000 BCE”, noting that it is due to being an affiliate of X on the platform. The “3000 BCE” mention appears to be a playful addition by Musk, aligning with his tongue-in-cheek persona as a “time-travelling, vampire alien.”
