Elon Musk has revolutionized multiple industries and become a true business pioneer in the process. His unique ability to drive innovation has reshaped today’s economy, and his net worth is now reportedly $485 billion.

In the latest news regarding the SpaceX Chief, Elon Musk recently sat down for an interview on The Katie Miller Podcast. In his appearance, which was made available to stream on December 9, Musk touched on several topics with Katie Miller, the show’s host.

There were several notable takeaways from Musk’s appearance, with perhaps the most interesting moment coming when Miller posed, “What's a conspiracy theory you believe in?”

Elon Musk then proceeded to give his take,

“I mean, which conspiracy theories haven't come true at this point? We've run out of conspiracy theories because they’ve all come true as far as I can tell. I have seen no evidence of aliens. No one on the SpaceX senior team has any evidence of aliens. Because I’ve asked the team, ‘Guys, am I missing something? Has anyone on the team—has anyone seen any evidence of aliens?”

Elon Musk reveals more in podcast appearance

Elon Musk’s most recent podcast appearance was filled with interesting moments and tidbits. His interviewer, Katie Miller, did a good job of balancing levity with slightly harder-hitting questions, yielding interesting takes from the Tesla CEO.

For example, Miller asked relatively normal questions of the SpaceX head, including “When’s the last time you did something extremely ordinary like go to Target or CVS?” Musk’s response was as follows,

“I can’t go to things where there is the general public because there’s an immediate ‘Can I have a selfie line?’ that forms. And these days in particular, in light of Charlie Kirk’s mu*der there are significant security issues. It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s that I simply can’t.”

Miller then followed up by asking how else Kirk’s assassination had affected his public interactions, and Musk was transparent in his response, even putting it in the context of gaming to express his point.

“It certainly reinforced the severity of the situation where life is on hard-care mode, and you make one mistake, and you’re dead. It only takes one mistake.”

Interestingly, when Miller asked Elon Musk to name an invention we’d be better off without later in the video, the Tesla Chief had the following thought,

“Maybe short-form video. It seems to be rotting people’s brains.”

The Tesla CEO came across as stable and focused in his most recent podcast appearance, which is undoubtedly a positive sign.
