The tech entrepreneur was speaking at the unveiling of SpaceX’s most impressive rocket to date, the Starship, in Boca Chica, Texas, when the subject of aliens came up. Mr Musk, who reportedly has a net worth of a staggering $20.1billion (£16.1billion), told the audience he is yet to see any signs of alien activity – but he would be the one to know if there was any indication of extraterrestrial life. The 48-year-old said: “As far as we know, we’re the only conscious 

“It appears that consciousness is a very rare and precious thing, and we should take whatever steps we can to preserve the light of consciousness.

Mr Musk added, jokingly: ”If they are here, I hope they’re nice. You know, they haven’t killed us yet — so they must be not that bad.”

On Saturday, September 28, the South African-born billionaire unveiled a prototype of the Starship Mk1rocket which will take humans to the Moon, Mars and “beyond”.

Standing in front of a prototype of the 164ft (50m) tall, 200-ton, or 1,400 tons when fully loaded, SpaceX Starship, Mr Musk said that the rocket will be placed in Earth’s orbit within six months to test the machine.
