There's this wild take floating around about Elon and the whole alien question. The logic goes: sure, he probably knows something. But here's the thing—when you're deep in contracts with NASA, running rockets to space, you can't just spill government secrets on a podcast.

And honestly? Most people would do the same. If you're building SpaceX, pushing humanity toward Mars, are you really gonna risk everything to satisfy some podcaster's curiosity? Probably not. That's just how the game works when your business depends on government partnerships. Silence isn't always conspiracy—sometimes it's just smart survival.
