The Musk-Branson story is a big story and this time the two world billionaires found themselves together in the kitchen in the middle of the night.
A bizarre, yet very interesting story was shared by Richard Branson when he found Elon Musk in the kitchen of his New Mexico house before his first space flight.
In an interview, Mr. Branson said the Twitter and Tesla owner was “tiptoeing” and completely barefoot, holding his fast-asleep baby X Æ A-12, who came to wish him well ahead of his Virgin Galactic mission to take the first passengers into space.
He said he went downstairs to get a cup of coffee and found “Elon had decided to surprise us.”
Musk-Branson story
Mr. Branson told The Sunday Times magazine: “He was there with his baby. Basically, he’s a night animal.
“He doesn’t really sleep at night and gets his sleep in the daytime. We made a pot of tea and sat outside under the stars and caught up.
“I think it was about 2.30 am,” Mr. Branson told the newspaper. “I woke up two hours earlier than I was meant to and jumped out of bed, and then actually realized I’d got the wrong time, but by then I was wide awake.”
Apparently, a member of Mr. Branson’s family had let Elon in.
Mr. Musk later joined Mr. Branson at the nearby New Mexico spaceport before the British entrepreneur blasted into the edge of space with his Virgin Galactic space tourism flight, beating Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin flight by nine days.
Musk and Branson have a lot in common. Both men are serial entrepreneurs and are considered visionaries.
Branson noted that he and Musk are “good friends” and that his fellow billionaire bought a Virgin Galactic ticket “a long time ago.”
This Musk-Branson story is one of good relationships, and how to ‘tip-toe’ in your friend’s kitchen, which is a great story to share by the Virgin Atlantic boss.
