Morgan Freeman, the renowned actor, has been a vocal admirer of Elon Musk, the tech mogul, for many years. In a 2016 video interview that recently resurfaced, Freeman passionately endorsed Musk’s ideas for the future. He lauded Musk’s groundbreaking work, particularly his achievement of developing a reusable rocket ship.
Freeman also expressed his enthusiasm about Musk’s plans for space exploration. He envisioned a future where rockets would transport supplies and people to Mars, mirroring the settlement of the American Old West. Freeman’s admiration for Musk’s forward-thinking vision is evident in his statement, ‘I think he’s got the most incredibly forward-thinking ideas about where we can go technologically.’
Upon the video’s re-emergence, Musk took to social media to express his gratitude, calling Freeman ‘awesome.’ The video has garnered mixed reactions, with Musk’s supporters embracing it as a testament to his ingenuity. However, detractors have questioned whether Freeman is aware of Musk’s recent controversies. It’s important to note that the video is almost eight years old, and much has changed since then. Nonetheless, Freeman’s longstanding admiration for Musk’s technological endeavors remains evident.
