So I, yeah what I mean, particularly when I was a kid I'd just consume like all science-fiction and fantasy, you know, movies, books, anything at all, even if it was really shlucky. So - in terms of sort of key influences, I mean I certainly like Star Trek, because that actually shows like more of a utopian future, like it's not like, things aren't horrible in the future. It's like there's so many bloody post-apocalyptic futures, like okay can we have one that's nice' Just a few. So I like that about Star Trek."Here is Musk talking about howsci-fi influenced him.SEE ALSO:This rsum for Elon Musk proves you never, ever need to use more than one pageSEE ALSO:How the queen of Silicon Valley is helping Google go after Amazon's most profitable businessJoin the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: This is how you're compromising your identity on Facebook
