Tesla、SpaceX 等多個科技公司的主理人 Elon Musk 在不久之前現身在美國德克薩斯州的 South by Southwest（SXSW）創意大會，席間除了發表他計劃在 2019 年上半年發射太空船到火星及討論更多的科技發展議題外，主持人就問到 Musk 一條問題：「在場的所有人都被你啟發，那麼又是誰在啟發你？」，Musk 想也不想便打趣地說：

“Kanye West, obviously.”

向來鬼馬的 Musk 逗得全場發笑，正當大家以為他只是在說笑時，他就解正正經經地解釋原因：

“Kanye West would be the first person to tell you he belongs on this list. The dude doesn’t believe in false modesty, and he shouldn’t. Kanye’s belief in himself and his incredible tenacity—he performed his first single with his jaw wired shut—got him to where he is today. And he fought for his place in the cultural pantheon with a purpose.

In his debut album, over a decade ago, Kanye issued what amounted to a social critique and a call to arms (with a beat): “We rappers is role models: we rap, we don’t think.” But Kanye does think. Constantly. About everything. And he wants everybody else to do the same: to engage, question, push boundaries. Now that he’s a pop-culture juggernaut, he has the platform to achieve just that. He’s not afraid of being judged or ridiculed in the process. Kanye’s been playing the long game all along, and we’re only just beginning to see why.”

他認為 Kanye West 早在十多年前已經堅守自已的信念，不同於其他 Rapper，Kanye 用歌詞作為武器去批判社會，沒有懼怕批評及嘲笑他的聲音，所以有了今天的成就。
