On Friday, July 31, the head of Tesla and SpaceX wrote a series of tweets in which he hinted at the extraterrestrial origin of the Egyptian pyramids. The first tweet read: "Of course the pyramids were built by aliens."

True, in the very next tweet Musk clarified “[Pharaoh] Ramses II was one of them.” He also wrote that "The Pyramid of Cheops was the tallest structure that humans had created in 3800 years."

In his latest tweet on the topic, the businessman posted a link to a BBC article detailing the construction of the pyramids and said it was a “true account of how it was done.”

But the very first tweet received the most attention, which could be regarded as support for the popular conspiracy theory about the construction of pyramids by aliens. He has been retweeted over 84 times.

In response, the Egyptian Minister for International Cooperation Rania al-Mashat urged Musk to personally make sure that the pyramids were built by people and not by aliens.

“I follow your work with great admiration. I invite you and SpaceX to explore the written evidence of how the pyramids were built, as well as the graves of their builders. We are waiting for you, Mr. Musk!” — wrote al-Mashat.

"Complete Hallucination"

According to experts, the grave of the pyramid builders, discovered in the 1990s, conclusively proves that the huge structures were indeed erected by the ancient Egyptians.

Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass also responded to Musk's tweets. He posted a short statement in Arabic on social media, calling Musk's words a "complete hallucination."

“I discovered the graves of the pyramid builders - and this proved to everyone that they were Egyptians and were not slaves,” Hawass was quoted as saying by Egypt Today.

More than 100 pyramids have survived in Egypt, the most famous of which is the Pyramid of Cheops, its height is 137 meters. Most of the pyramids were built as burial grounds for the pharaohs.

Elon Musk is known for scandalous statements on Twitter, which cause a great public response.

He once said in an interview with CNBC: “On Twitter, you’re at war. And if someone ends up in a war, then you need to say to yourself: well, now you are in the arena. Forward!"
