Netflix co-Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Reed Hastings seems to really like Elon Musk, who recently controversially took over Twitter.

The co-founder of Netflix went on to applaud the ultra-rich billionaire who runs Tesla and SpaceX, alongside his new social network.

Netflix Co-CEO: Elon Musk is the 'Bravest and Most Creative Person on Earth'

As per the latest news story by Business Insider, the Netflix co-CEO recently talked about how he finds one of the most controversial figures these days, Musk. He spoke about the wealthiest man in the world during the DealBook Summit of the New York Times.

And here's what the Netflix boss has to say about the new Chief Twit.

Hastings says that Musk, for him, is "the bravest, most creative person on the planet."

The Twitter account that goes by the name Tesla Owners Silicon Valley posted a clip wherein Hastings blurted out high praises to Musk.

The Chief Twit then responds to the video by saying, "Wow, thank you for the kind words." He further tagged the Twitter account of the co-chief executive of the streaming service.

Hastings also said that the billionaire has made "phenomenal" changes in "multiple areas." The tech exec notes that "his style is different."

The Netflix founder then compares himself to the Tesla CEO. He admits that he is "trying to be, like, a steady, respectable leader up here. But on the other hand, Musk is "just out there."

However, Business Insider notes in its report that the billionaire entrepreneur appears to feel otherwise about the streaming service that Hastings co-founded.

The Tesla boss previously said that "the woke mind virus is making Netflix unwatchable." Well, it remains to be seen if Hastings got to read the tweet of Musk. But if he did, it seems that it did not bother him at all.

Hastings Thinks Musk is Trying to 'Help the World'

According to a recent report by Indie Wire, Hastings took the chance to defend Musk from the flooding criticism since he took over Twitter.

The big boss of the giant streamer went on to reveal that he is "100% convinced that [Musk] is trying to help the world in all of his endeavors," which includes his recent takeover of Twitter.

The Netflix exec expounds that the Twitter acquisition is part of Musk's belief in "free speech and its power for democracy."

But Hastings added that if were in charge of the social network, he would do it in another manner.
