Elon Musk is no stranger to bizarre proposals, but even his wildest fans weren’t ready for this one. According to sensational rumors circulating across tech forums, Musk was recently contacted by what’s being described as the first-ever alien startup. Their pitch? “We’ll give you 1 billion space rocks if you sell us 5% of Tesla”.
The story claims the approach happened during a SpaceX deep-space communication test, when a strange holographic signal appeared. The beings calling themselves the Asteroid Angels introduced their business like true Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. They reportedly promised Musk that their rocks contained cosmic fuel cells, powerful enough to replace every battery on Earth and keep Tesla cars running for centuries without a single recharge.
In their interstellar slide deck, one alien allegedly said: “We don’t want money. We want equity. Tesla will be the first company not only on Earth, but also in the galaxy”.
Witnesses claim Musk laughed, leaned back in his chair, and quipped: “How about I give you 5 Dogecoins and one Cybertruck prototype instead?”, The aliens, reportedly confused, paused before responding: “Deal?”
When the story hit social media, the internet exploded. Memes of Musk on Alien Shark Tank flooded Twitter. TikTok creators imagined the pitch session complete with green aliens in suits holding laser pointers. Hashtags like #SpaceRockDeal and #ElonAndAliens trended for hours, sparking debates about whether this was clever marketing, fanfiction, or something bigger.
Conspiracy theorists jumped in, speculating that Musk might already be using alien tech. Could the rumored energy cores be what powers the next generation of Starship? Could Tesla unveil a “cosmic edition” battery?
Skeptics dismissed the tale as pure internet satire — but even they admitted it sounded suspiciously like something Musk would actually tweet. And that’s what makes this rumor so magnetic: when it comes to Elon Musk, the line between parody and possibility has all but disappeared.
