People could meet aliens during space exploration, Musk says

American billionaire Elon Musk has stated that while exploring different star systems, humanity could potentially meet aliens and civilizations that have lasted for millions of years.

“I really want to see the Mass Driver on the Moon that is shooting AI satellites into deep space. It’s going like shum shum, just one after the other. I can’t imagine anything more epic than a Mass Driver on the Moon and a self-sustaining city on the Moon and then going beyond the Moon to Mars, going throughout our solar system and ultimately being out there among the stars, and visiting all these star systems; maybe we will meet aliens, maybe we will meet some civilizations that lasted for millions of years, and we will find the remnants of ancient alien civilizations,” Musk wrote on X.

He added that such ideas are usually only read about in science fiction books, stating that the only way to achieve this is to go into space and explore it.
