The founder of the SpaceX company is known for his ambiguous statements and “jokes” in social networks.

The American billionaire and founder of the company SpaceX, Elon Musk, distinguished himself with an unsuccessful joke about the elimination of a Chinese spy bullet by the Pentagon.

It is about a balloon that American intelligence recorded in the sky over its territories on January 28, when it was spotted over Alaska. Later, this became known to the media, which picked up on the topic of the “spy ball” and began to regularly inform about the movement of the object in the sky, forcing Washington to take more decisive action.

In particular, on February 4, US President Joe Biden ordered the elimination of the spy balloon. It was reported that it was destroyed by a missile from one of the planes.

Elon Musk tried to “play” on this topic, writing an ambiguous joke about a spy bullet on his Twitter.

“Don’t worry, just some of my friends dropping by…” he wrote, embellishing his post with an alien and flying saucer emoji.

Scandalous statements of Elon Musk

We will remind that the new owner of Twitter quite often “plays” with his audience, publishing jokes or personal comments on his blog that cause one or another scandal.

Musk recently distinguished himself with his absurd explanation of the decision of SpaceX, which last week imposed restrictions on the use of satellite Internet service by the Ukrainian military to control drones. He said that in this way the company is trying to prevent the “conflict” from turning into a world war.

He also got into several scandals earlier because of his statements about Crimea and the war in Ukraine. In January, he called Ukraine’s steps to liberate Crimea “inappropriate,” and in September 2022 he proposed his “peace plan” to end the Russian-Ukrainian war. The latter included the holding of repeated referendums in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
