Elon Musk is eccentric, there's no getting around that.
He doesn't conform to the many unwritten rules of society, and his quirkiness has clearly given him an edge with him now being by far the richest man on the planet - well, that and the fact he came from money with his dad owning a gem mine in South Africa.
According to Forbes' rich list, the 53-year-old has a net worth of $315.7 billion - with the second richest being another American in Oracle owner Larry Ellison at $233.2 billion... in fact, nine of the 10 richest people in the world are from the US.

Anyway, President-Elect Donald Trump recently named the tech mogul, alongside the former Republican presidential candidate and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, as the heads of a new Department of Government Efficiency.
In a statement posted to social media, Trump announced the formation of the department, along with its intent to 'dismantle Government Bureaucracy' and to 'slash excess regulations'.
"I am pleased to announce that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency ('DOGE')," Trump wrote, with the department's acronym notably referencing the popular internet meme and a cryptocurrency associated with Musk.
Now, a photo has emerged online depicting Musk, Trump and his new health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as the 78-year-old's eldest son Donald Trump Jr., all dining on a McDonalds.
But what people cannot get their heads around is the way one of the powerful minds on Earth goes about eating his french fries from the fast-food giant.
He emptied his sauce onto the fries instead of dipping each individual 'chip', as the Brits call them, onto them... I mean, he's the head of the US' future 'efficiency' department for a reason.
Although, the four of them were sat on a private plane, so I can't imagine there was any hurry to eat their meals - that being said, were their meals even warm?
Anyway, people epically reacted to the four of them eating on Musk's own social media platform Twitter - and the Tesla founder received some backlash for his McDonald's etiquette.
One person wrote: "Ketchup straight in the box from Musk. Not even a little bit to dip on the side. Just straight in grabbing sauce drenched chips. Psycho."
While a second posted: "Elon that’s not how you put ketchup on French fries wtf is wrong with you lol."
A third typed: "This photo has revealed that Elon Musk is one of those psychopaths who put the ketchup on the fry pile instead of dipping them."
"The only problem I have this is the fact that @elonmusk puts his ketchup inside the carton on the fries," added another.
