SpaceX has almost 6000 satellites in orbit and not once have we had to maneuver around aliens.
The tweet was in response to a video suggesting an unidentified flying object (UFO) near the missing MH370 flight. The video claimed the object was "flying so close to the plane that it indicates an operation."
The Boeing 777-200ER involved, known as Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, mysteriously vanished on March 8, 2014, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Why It Matters: Musk's comments come amid ongoing debates and speculations about the existence of extraterrestrial life.
Under Musk's leadership, SpaceX has launched nearly 6,000 satellites into orbit. The absence of any alien encounter during these operations strengthens Musk's argument against the existence of extraterrestrial life.
While Musk's comments may not end the debate, they add a valuable viewpoint to the ongoing discourse on extraterrestrial life.
