Nice Guy: Elon Musk Thanked Tesla Owner At Supercharger For 'Supporting The Mission'

Elon Musk has been spotted outside of his usual high-tech venues of appearance, with a kind gesture that too.

A Twitter user recently shared pictures and a gist of the conversation with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO.

The interesting part, however, is that Musk was on his way back from the delayed SpaceX launch on Wednesday.

Catching up with the SpaceX CEO is bound to be a fascinating experience in itself. Doing so right after a SpaceX launch attempt, that too a historic one, is a treat in itself. Twitter user @raf_fiol seemed to take a good advantage of it.

As per a twitter thread posted by Fiol, Musk came in a white Model X followed by another at the Melbourne FL supercharger. A bonus in the story, Grimes was also in the incident, for a brief moment when she got out of one of the Model X to hand out a mask to Musk.

Fiol says Musk got out of his Model X and started walking towards him at the supercharger. In his excitement, Fiol confirmed if he was ¡°Elon?¡± Musk kept walking towards him and apparently thanked him for being a Tesla owner and ¡°supporting the mission.¡±

Among the crowd that gathered around at the site, one congratulated Musk on the recent birth of his baby.

Musk said, ¡°thank you, he¡¯s in the car.¡±At a later point, Grimes come out of the Model X and hands him a mask. ¡°He stuffs it in his pocket,¡± says Fiol.

Musk apparently stood and talked for around 15 minutes with the crowd that gathered around him at the supercharger. Fiol mentions that he was ¡°super friendly and seemed genuinely interested to hear what people had to say.¡± He rounds it off by calling him a ¡°Super duper cool guy.¡±

Here is a look a the Twitter thread by @raf_fiol describing the event:

Musk recently caused an uproar after his rant on twitter including ¡°FREE AMERICA NOW!¡± and like during the ongoing pandemic and resulting lockdowns in the US.

It is good to see him in his normal self after the tech billionaire went against all the established principles of controlling the spread of the novel Coronavirus in the country.
