Candace Owens: The Latest Conspiracy Theory
US-based commentator Candace Owens has once again made headlines with her latest outlandish claim. According to Owens, the tech magnates Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Peter Thiel are not human beings but something more sinister.
A New Theory Emerges
Owens posted a statement on social media, stating that these prominent figures have “strange eyes” which suggest they might be hybrid entities. “They just look like Apple software that I should be able to download at night,” she said in her statement. This bizarre claim has sparked numerous reactions and discussions online.
A History of Controversy
It is not the first time Owens has ventured into controversial territory with conspiracy theories. In 2024, she made waves by alleging that Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, was born a man and later transitioned to female, a claim which ultimately led to a defamation lawsuit against her.
“I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man,” Owens stated at the time. This theory emerged from fringe articles and videos that assert Brigitte Macron was previously known as Jean-Michel Trogneux (her brother’s name) and that she transitioned, ideas which French legal authorities have dismissed as defamatory.
Expert Reactions
The response to Owens’ latest theory has been mixed. Conspiracy theorist David Icke responded by comparing her claims to his own long-standing beliefs about non-human control over the world. “There is an irony here. Firstly, I have been writing in detail for 30 years how the world is ultimately controlled by non-humans and a force located in another dimension of reality,” he said.
However, not everyone has embraced Owens’ claims with open arms. The Macrons have responded to the defamation lawsuit by filing charges against Owens, accusing her of knowingly spreading false claims to gain attention and profit.
Implications for Public Perception
The implications of such theories are far-reaching, especially in an era where misinformation and conspiracy theories can rapidly spread through social media. While some may find these claims amusing or absurd, they also highlight the ongoing tension between mainstream narratives and alternative perspectives.
As Owens continues to push her controversial views, it remains to be seen how they will impact both her public image and broader conversations around technology and its role in society.
