Tesla CEO Elon Musk is known for his often less than conventional business ideas, though, some of those might not be as crazy as you think.

Appearing as a special guest at the Hyperloop Pod Award ceremony at Texas A&M, the businessman attended a Q&A during which he was asked – among other things – what his “next great idea” was, to which he replied:

“I have been thinking about the vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) electric jet a bit more. I think I have something that might close. I’m quite tempted to do something about it.”

Indeed, it seems that the non-existent electric aircraft niche appears to allure the billionaire, as nobody is currently investing in this intriguing technology.

Of course, it’s not certain if the idea will follow through, but Musk isn’t the kind of guy who backs down from his plans. He appears to be quite stubborn once his mind is set, as he explained when asked how he convinces people his ideas aren’t crazy:

“That’s generally what they thought. In starting SpaceX, they definitely thought I was crazy. One of my best friends compiled a long video of rockets crashing and made me watch the whole thing. Some other friends of mine who were involved in rocket startups said it was a terrible idea, but I kind of thought we had a really tiny chance of succeeding anyway.”
