The speculation surrounding its nature intensified after Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb boldly claimed the interstellar visitor could be an &#8220;alien probe sent to do recon on Earth,&#8221; a quote Rogan brought up on the show. <!-- -->Loeb went on to accuse NASA of withholding critical information about 3I\/ATLAS. Earlier, the Harvard scientist has said that the Manhattan-sized interstellar comet 3I\/ATLAS could have extraterrestrial origins.<!-- --> Along with its unusual tail orientation, Loeb noted that it was spouting a plume of four grams of nickel per second with no evidence of iron, which is a phenomenon unheard of in comets. He has also reportedly voiced concern over ATLAS\u2019s nongravitational acceleration and anomalous trajectory that will bring it suspiciously close to Jupiter, Venus and Mars.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Elon Musk and Joe Rogan discuss 3I\/ATLAS<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Rogan highlighted a key, baffling characteristic: The discovery of nickel in the comet\u2019s gas cloud, noting that, on Earth, this is primarily found in industrial alloys. Elon Musk, however, offered a terrestrial explanation for the nickel deposits. He stated that many comets and asteroids are &#8220;made primarily of nickel,&#8221; and that &#8220;the places where you mine nickel on Earth is actually where there was an asteroid or comet that hit earth\u2014that was a nickel rich meteorite.<!-- -->&#8220;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>When pressed on the possibility of the object being an alien spacecraft, Musk acknowledged the implications of a nickel-heavy construction. &#8220;It would be a very sort of heavy spaceship if you make it all out of nickel,&#8221; he said, adding that such a vessel &#8220;would like obliterate a continent type of thing\u2014maybe worse.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Elon Musk makes a public vow on Aliens<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>In what can be termed as a bizarre moment that underscored the conspiratorial undertones of the discussion, Rogan asked Musk if he was keeping up to date with the comet. <!-- -->Elon Musk\u2019s response was a public promise regarding the existence of extraterrestrial life: &#8220;I mean, one thing I can say is like, look, if I was aware of any evidence of aliens &#8212; Joe, you have my word &#8212; I will come on your show and I will reveal it on the show.<!-- -->&#8220;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Elon Musk then made an emphatic, public declaration to address a conspiracy theory suggesting that those who know the truth about alien contact are silenced: &#8220;I\u2019m never committing suicide, to be clear. So, on camera, guys, I am never committing suicide ever!&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>The confluence of unexplained signals from a major satellite network and an interstellar object exhibiting properties likened to artificial origins has reignited public fascination with the final frontier, leaving many to wonder what other secrets Comet 3I\/ATLAS might hold as it hurtles through our solar system.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      const ifAllowedOnAllPages = allowedSurvicateSections && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('all');\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed || ifAllowedOnAllPages){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n            var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
