Elon Musk reveals his carnivore-style breakfast and one food he'd eat 'for the rest of time'

He's known for controversial choices, be it lengthy Twitter outbursts or atypical children's names, and it turns out that Elon Musk also has some unusual appetites for food.

Speaking in an interview on the Katie Miller podcast, the Tesla CEO revealed that when it comes to breakfast choices he opts for a dish reminiscent of the carnivore-style diet, which is when someone mainly consumes animal products such as meat, eggs and dairy, with fruits, vegetables, and carbohydrates typically excluded.

While other people across the country are tucking in to bowls of cereal, fruit and pancakes, the SpaceX founder instead said he likes to start each day by enjoying a plate of steak and eggs, washing the meaty meal down with a black coffee.

By the time lunch rolls around, Musk is often still full from his protein-heavy breakfast and doesn't have room for lunch.

"I usually don't have lunch, or if I do, it's something very small," he told Miller after she asked what he eats in a 'typical day'.

Dinner will depend on whether he is hanging out with friends or dining alone, as he explained: "And then for dinner, depending on whether it's social or not, it will vary in cuisine. I like a wide range of cuisine."

However, when asked what his favorite cuisine is, Musk revealed his favorite meal is a classic cheeseburger.

"American is my favorite," he said.

"If I had to say like there's one have for the rest of time, which would be quite monotonous, but it would probably be a cheeseburger.

"Because cheeseburgers are amazing. It's genius, it's a genius invention," he gushed.

Musk continued: "If it's a hot cuisine, I like French food as well, but not every day - in once in a while."

It's not the first time Musk has admitted to enjoying more luxurious foods. Speaking on the Joe Rogan podcast, he admitted he enjoys rich meals but knows they can slow him down.

He told the podcast that he tries to keep things light, eating a small amount in the day to avoid weighing him down during a busy day of meetings.

Discussing his favorite foods with the podcast host, Musk also shared that he has recently become a fan of Hawaiian pizza, another contentious meal choice.
