A UFO expert has warned that Elon Musk could interfere with aliens trying to make first contact if he axes anonymous bots from Twitter.
Nick Pope, who used to work as a Government advisor on the threat of UFOs, said the Tesla chief could muzzle Martians trying to send humanity messages via indirect means.
Elon, who bought the social media platform for a mind-boggling £35bn, has spoken of "defeating spam bots" and said he would make efforts to block them from Twitter.
