He admitted that he's not completely immune to some of the negative comments said about him by his detractors both in the media and on the internet.
In his first public appearance after a controversial hostile takeover of social media giant Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk on Monday walked the red carpet in a black tuxedo at the annual Met Gala in New York with his mother as his date. The billionaire tech tycoon revealed his plans for Twitter and admitted that he's not completely immune to some of the negative comments said about him by his detractors both in the media and on the internet.
"Well, it does get to me sometimes, I mean, I'm not like, you know - I do have feelings," he said with a laugh. "I'm not an android."
But he also says he tries to "take these things with a grain of salt," especially when it comes to online trolls.
Mr Musk suggested that his intentions are often maligned as something other than working toward the greater good.
