The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX came in eighth place on the 2017 Glassdoor Highest Rated CEOs list this year.

But that’s not the best part. Musk gave an interview with Glassdoor and answered some questions on his job and his personal life, in which he shared his love of fun.

“When you’re not planning trips to Mars, how do you like to spend your free time?” a representative at Glassdoor asked.

“Burning Man, playing team first-person shooters with my kids, movies, hanging out with friends, occasional wild parties,” Musk replied.
