Citing texts like the Vedas, which he claims date back over 14,000 years, Musk pointed to ancient Indian scriptures as containing references to advanced knowledge, including flying vehicles—known as "vimanas"—mentioned in epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana. He added that he has collected some of these texts and even authored a book featuring stories from regions such as Kashmir and Delhi.
Musk’s remarks echo a growing global interest in India's mythological past, particularly among those intrigued by alternative interpretations of ancient science and technology.
Currently on a five-day visit, Errol Musk has been appointed to the global advisory board of Indian tech company Servotech. His itinerary includes spiritual and historical sites before returning to South Africa on June 6.
His admiration for India’s legacy adds a unique cultural note to his business-oriented trip.
