In a stunning and deeply bizarre turn of events, conservative commentator Candace Owens has set social media and political circles ablaze after claiming that tech moguls Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Peter Thiel “aren’t human beings” but rather “hybrids controlled by an ancient demonic energy.”
Owens made the shocking comments during a late-night podcast appearance, where she delved into what she described as “a spiritual and technological war for the soul of humanity.” The episode, now trending across multiple platforms, has ignited a firestorm of debate — not over her ideas on technology or AI ethics, but over her mental well-being.
“THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR EYES”
Owens began her statement by saying that she has long harbored suspicions about leading figures in Silicon Valley.
“I don’t believe Elon Musk, Sam Altman, or Peter Thiel are human,” she said. “There’s something strange about their eyes — like they’re looking through you, not at you.”
The commentator then questioned whether these men could even bleed, suggesting that what we see in public may not be “biological people at all, but synthetic hybrids designed to merge human and machine consciousness.”
As her comments spread, clips of her remarks were shared and reposted thousands of times, with the phrase “Owens thinks Musk is an alien” becoming one of the top-trending topics on X (formerly Twitter).
“A TRANSHUMANIST CULT WITH DEMONIC ROOTS”
Owens didn’t stop there. She went on to connect the modern transhumanist movement — which explores merging human biology with artificial intelligence — to what she described as “ancient, demonic forces seeking digital immortality.”
“There’s an ancient energy that lives through these people,” she continued. “It’s the same spirit that built the Tower of Babel — the desire to become gods, to transcend human limits, to control creation itself.”
She accused global tech elites of attempting to “use AI as a vessel” to achieve a new form of possession — one that fuses spiritual manipulation with scientific ambition.
“They don’t just want to build machines,” she warned. “They want to inhabit them. They want to turn humanity into their own image.”
Her remarks drew audible gasps from the show’s host and left the studio silent for several seconds before moving to a commercial break.
CONSERVATIVE FIGURES RESPOND: “SHE NEEDS HELP”
While Owens’ statements have drawn applause from fringe conspiracy theorists and certain online communities that promote “AI spiritual warfare” theories, the mainstream conservative movement has reacted with visible discomfort.
Several high-profile right-wing figures — including political strategists, talk show hosts, and party donors — have privately and publicly expressed concern about Owens’ mental state.
“Candace Owens needs psychiatric help,” one prominent conservative strategist told The Washington Ledger. “This isn’t political commentary anymore. This is delusional paranoia masquerading as faith.”
Another Fox News insider, speaking anonymously, called her remarks “a tipping point,” suggesting that networks and sponsors may soon reconsider partnerships with her if she continues down this path.
“She was always provocative — but this isn’t provocation. This is a breakdown,” the insider said.
SUPPORTERS DEFEND HER: “SHE’S SEEING WHAT OTHERS REFUSE TO”
Not everyone is condemning Owens. Her most loyal followers argue that she’s being punished for “speaking uncomfortable truths.”
On alternative platforms like Rumble and Truth Social, users have rallied behind her, claiming she’s being silenced for exposing “the hidden spiritual war behind Silicon Valley’s obsession with AI.”
“They call every visionary ‘crazy’ until the truth comes out,” one supporter wrote. “Candace sees what the rest of us ignore — that technology is not neutral, it’s spiritual.”
Another commenter posted, “First they mocked prophets, now they mock patriots. Maybe Candace isn’t losing her mind — maybe the rest of us already lost ours.”
THE TRANSHUMANISM DEBATE REIGNITED
Beyond the viral frenzy, Owens’ comments have inadvertently reignited a serious philosophical debate about transhumanism — the belief that humans can and should use advanced technology to transcend biological limitations.
Figures like Elon Musk and Sam Altman have long advocated for the fusion of AI and human intelligence through initiatives like Neuralink and OpenAI. Critics fear these projects could lead to ethical and existential dangers, including the erosion of human autonomy.
But by introducing claims of demonic possession and “hybrid overlords,” Owens has turned that nuanced discussion into a firestorm of spiritual panic and ridicule.
Dr. Martin Cross, a technology ethicist at Georgetown University, commented:
“Owens’ remarks conflate myth, theology, and genuine technological concern in a way that trivializes real ethical questions. It’s unfortunate because there are valid fears about AI’s societal control — but this kind of rhetoric derails that conversation entirely.”
FAITH, FEAR, AND THE FUTURE
Owens’ statements tap into a growing current of faith-based anxiety about artificial intelligence — particularly among Christians who see AI as a potential challenge to divine authority.
In recent months, online Christian influencers and prophecy bloggers have described AI as “the new idol,” warning that humanity’s pursuit of artificial consciousness mirrors biblical rebellion.
By claiming that tech elites are “spiritually possessed hybrids,” Owens may have found herself at the extreme end of a belief system already spreading among certain religious and political circles.
“PRAY FOR HER” — THE FINAL WORD
As the controversy continues, the tone across much of the conservative establishment has shifted from outrage to pity.
“I’m praying for her,” wrote one fellow commentator. “Candace has done a lot of good for the movement, but this… this isn’t her. Something’s wrong.”
Publicly, Owens has not retracted her statements. In fact, she doubled down in a recent post on X, writing:
“You laugh now. But soon you’ll understand that not all flesh is human, and not all light comes from God.”
The post has already surpassed 12 million views — and counting.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR CANDACE OWENS?
Inside sources say that sponsors and networks are quietly evaluating whether to distance themselves. At least one media contract is reportedly “under review.”
Yet despite growing pressure, Owens shows no sign of backing down. Her next scheduled appearance is at a faith-based technology conference, where she’s expected to discuss “the spiritual deception of AI.”
For many in her audience, she remains a fearless truth-teller unafraid of ridicule. For others — including her longtime allies — she has crossed into dangerous psychological territory.
Either way, the fallout from her comments is only beginning. What started as a late-night rant may soon evolve into a defining crisis for one of the most polarizing figures in American conservatism.
