According to author MacAskill, his book 'What We Owe The Future' "makes the case for longtermism, the view that positively affecting the long-run future is a key moral priority of our time." The book is published by Basic Books.

Over the year, Musk has spoken about several books which have inspired him and his works. Some of them are 'The Lord of the Rings' by JRR Tolkien, 'Benjamin Franklin' by Isaacson, 'Zero to One' by Peter Thiel, the 'Foundation' series by Isaac Asimov, among others.

Meanwhile on being asked by a Twitter user, Musk revealed that his two-year-old son X Æ A-12 Musk is quite passionate about SpaceX and Mars, compared to his other children. Musk often posts pictures of his son on social media.
