Elon Musk is back at it again, casually tossing out ideas that sound straight out of a sci-fi fever dream—but, let’s be honest, we’re all intrigued. This time, the SpaceX and Tesla mastermind has set his sights on Star Trek’s Starfleet Academy.

Speaking at a recent event while rocking a Space Force jacket emblazoned with the Starship Enterprise (because of course he was), Musk declared:

“We want to make Starfleet Academy real, and go out there and visit other star systems eventually and see if there are alien civilizations.”

The man dreams big.

From Sci-Fi to Reality: Musk’s Galactic Vision

This isn’t Musk’s first time blending science fiction with science fact. He’s the guy who turned his love for The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy into a Tesla car floating in space and has been waxing poetic about colonizing Mars since before it was cool. Starfleet Academy, though? That’s a new level of audacity.

Musk’s vision doesn’t stop at just zipping around the galaxy, either. He’s already pondering the possibility of uncovering ancient alien ruins. Imagine Musk standing next to some crumbled alien temple, tweeting something like, “Just discovered intergalactic Stonehenge. Cool vibes. Might rebuild.”
