[ WP ] Elon Musk is actually a disguised alien who bet his friend that he could bring Earth to `` Technology Level 10 '' in one human lifetime .

Aliens. We always assume they're so advanced, but CleBorp and Trucaone of the Paernoxz galaxy bet each other they could advance human tech to level 10 in one lifetime. CleBorp made the bet, so he assumed the challenge. As part of his bet, he came to earth and assumed the role of Elon Musk and made his seed money with Paypal. 
 
 When he moved onto the next phase is when things got weird. 
 
 Turns out Paernoxzians are a moron race, real mouth breathers, and they do n't have a taste for historical research. While highly advanced races before them had mastered intergalactic travel, the Paernoxzians outbred them. Paernoxes use the before tech every day, but they have no idea how it works. They also have no concept of the history of human technology and that in fact, human technology is much more advanced than Paernoxzian tech. 
 
 CleBorp decided to tackle electric cars, he just threw money at it, losing money on every example even though he used mind control to promote the products. What he did n't know is that electric cars were common in the 1910s. He also decided to introduce retrorockets - a concept humans had used to land on the moon. His race had never mapped the Earth moon, so he only applied it to payload rockets, the kind he saw functioning at tech level 14 reliability ( even though he had no concept of this level ). 
 
 So, it turns out humans reached level 10 before CleBorp even arrived and so he won. Trucaone paid CleBorp in full, in the form of an emotionless fembot who only creeps people out in public.
