Musk also says he plans to go to space himself in about four to five years, but only into orbit around Earth.
Musk also runs Tesla Motors, which has been at the forefront of self-driving car technology. He says he sees Apple as more of a competitor than Google in the autonomous vehicle market, but suggests they may be too late to compete with Tesla.
