an ex-gf of mine use to say Elon was an alien and needs humans to help him develop the technology he needs to get back home.

Like David Bowie in The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976):

> [Bowie's character] uses the advanced technology of his home planet to patent many inventions on Earth, and acquires tremendous wealth as the head of a technology-based conglomerate, World Enterprises Corporation, aided by leading patent attorney Oliver Farnsworth. His wealth is needed to construct a space vehicle with the intention of shipping water back to his home planet.

In this case I think the arc is new enough that it likely was inspired directly by Elon.
