Nusa Dua (Indonesia) (AFP) – Sitting in the dark, his face half-illuminated by reddish light, billionaire Elon Musk expounded at a G20 summit side event an eccentric vision of the future with aliens, rocket travel and a network of underground tunnels.
The new owner of Twitter appeared via video conference at a parallel G20 business summit on the Indonesian resort island of Bali.
Projected onto a large screen above the stage, Musk appeared as a ghostly image, with only his face and hands dimly lit and reddish in color amid a pitch-black environment.
“We had a power outage three minutes before the call. That’s why I’m completely in the dark,” he told the Indonesian businessman and moderator, Anindya Bakrie.
When asked why he had not traveled to the island, the new owner of Twitter joked that his “volume of work has increased quite a bit recently” due to the purchase of the social network.
He then added little more about this controversial operation, which led to the dismissal of thousands of workers and the introduction of a fee to verify accounts.
The conversation especially turned to Musk’s peculiar vision of the future, with a network of underground tunnels to decongest traffic on the surface, rocket world travel and alien life.
“We may find alien civilizations or discover civilizations that existed millions of years ago,” he said.
The owner of the vehicle brand Tesla and the aerospace firm SpaceX defended that the mobility of the future would go through the electric car and a network of tunnels to relieve traffic congestion.
He also expressed interest in building rocket launch pads around the world so that people can travel “to the other side of the planet” at twenty times the speed of sound.
“I think this would really open up the world, if you could travel anywhere in less than an hour,” said the businessman.
