Elon Musk, the eccentric multi-billionaire and founder of SpaceX (a company dedicated to revolutionizing space technology), has revealed that he looks to a Hip Hop star for inspiration.
During a South By Southwest panel over the weekend, Musk was asked who he’s inspired by. His response: “Well Kanye West, obviously.”
Unfortunately for ‘Ye, Musk’s response was immediately met with laughter from the audience.
Back in 2015, Kanye name-dropped the SpaceX helmsman several times during a speech at Oxford University’s Museum of Natural History.
“I understand that I’m a servant. And with my voice, with my ability to build relationships with amazing people, speak to amazing people. Call Elon Musk out of the blue, or call Obama out of the blue,” Kanye West said.
This is worse than clickbait. With clickbait, you have a misleading headline, with the real story in the article; your article doesn’t even acknowledge that Elon Musk was joking. I had to watch the video.
It’s not the first time Danielle has written an article like this. She is well known for writing poorly and is seen amongst her peers as an imbecile.
He wasn’t joking, you can tell by his reaction to the laughter. In Time magazines 2015 most influential list he said this:
“Kanye’s belief in himself and his incredible tenacity – he performed his first single with his jaw wired shut – got him to where he is today. And he fought for his place in the cultural pantheon with a purpose… Now that he’s a pop-culture juggernaut, he has the platform to achieve just that. He’s not afraid of being judged or ridiculed in the process. Kanye’s been playing the long game all along, and we’re only just beginning to see why.”
Good find. Readers shouldn’t have to go to the comments for the journalism…
