Candace Owens’ New “Non-Human” Theory Sparks Internet Meltdown
Conservative commentator Candace Owens has ignited yet another social media firestorm after claiming that Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Peter Thiel “are not human.” The claim — delivered during one of her latest livestreams — instantly went viral, drawing widespread mockery, disbelief, and renewed concern over Owens’ spiraling rhetoric.
Owens said the trio’s “strange eyes” and “robotic” demeanor made her believe they were hybrids or battery-powered beings, comparing them to “Apple software” that she “should be able to download at night.” She even added, “If I stabbed them, I’m not sure they’d bleed,” before quickly clarifying that she wasn’t advocating violence.
Within hours, the phrase “Candace Owens Not Okay” trended on X (formerly Twitter), as users questioned whether the once-mainstream pundit had fully crossed into conspiracy territory.
From Macron to Musk: A Pattern of Outlandish Claims
This isn’t Owens’ first brush with viral conspiracy theories. She previously accused French First Lady Brigitte Macron of being a man, alleging that Macron was “born Jean-Michel Trogneux” — a baseless claim debunked by French authorities. The Macrons have since filed a 22-count defamation lawsuit in Delaware, accusing Owens of knowingly spreading false information for clout and profit.
In recent weeks, Owens has also been pushing a self-styled “investigation” into the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, insisting that the accused, Tyler Robinson, was framed as part of a larger cover-up involving a “Jewish donor.” Critics condemned the remarks as antisemitic and defamatory, while Owens claimed she was “just following the facts.”
Her latest “non-human” comments now seem to mark an escalation — moving from political intrigue to science-fiction paranoia.

David Icke Responds: “It’s a Start”
Interestingly, British conspiracy theorist David Icke, known for decades of claims that “non-human reptilian beings” control global power structures, responded publicly to Owens’ video.
“There’s irony here,” Icke said on X. “I’ve been writing for 30 years about how the world is controlled by non-humans. Candace’s Roman Church has been part of that hybrid control since ancient times. But at least now, more people are seeing that the world is far weirder than it seems.”
Icke’s endorsement only fueled more online discussion, with users joking that Owens had “entered the Icke Cinematic Universe.”
Social Media Reaction: “She Needs a Break”
The backlash was immediate. Prominent tech figures and political commentators flooded social media with disbelief and dark humor.
“Candace Owens has officially gone full sci-fi,” wrote one user, while another joked, “If Musk’s eyes are weird, it’s because he’s been awake for 72 hours coding.” Others expressed genuine concern about Owens’ mental state, urging her to “take a break from the internet.”
Meanwhile, Elon Musk himself — a frequent target of conspiracies — has yet to respond publicly, though he did post a cryptic “🛸” emoji shortly after the clip went viral.
A Conspiracy Feedback Loop
Owens’ trajectory highlights a growing trend where internet attention and outrage feed conspiracy ecosystems, blurring the lines between performance and belief. Her increasingly fringe theories seem to thrive on the very backlash they provoke, keeping her in the public eye — even as lawsuits and credibility questions mount.
While some of her supporters frame her as a “truth-teller” challenging elites, many observers now see her as drifting into the same realm of paranoia once reserved for fringe internet figures.
Conclusion: From Politics to Paranoia
Candace Owens’ latest claim — that Musk, Altman, and Thiel are hybrid beings — may be her most surreal yet. What began as a conservative political brand has morphed into a full-blown spectacle of conspiracy, blending politics, religion, and sci-fi imagery.
Whether seen as performance art, delusion, or a desperate grab for relevance, one thing is certain: Owens’ latest theory proves the internet will always tune in when she presses “record.”
