Anyone who has been following Elon Musk will agree that the tech billionaire works in eccentric ways sometimes. But an email describing certain incidents related to him -- which has surfaced recently -- has taken matters out of "eccentric waters" and well into the realm of "fan fiction".

Elon Musk's biographer and American columnist, Ashlee Vance, recently took to Twitter to share an email he received from a man who claimed to have met the Tesla CEO and actor Keanu Reeves in a bar. The meeting, the man claimed, eventually led to Musk--who apparently was working on the code for X.com--offering the man a seat in his company.

The email detailed out the events of two days with the writer claiming that he was left confused with Musk's actions, wondering if the incident ever actually happened. The sender of the email also asked Vance, as Musk's biographer, to check with the tech billionaire if the exchange had really taken place.
