Elon Musk's relationship with Google cofounder Larry Page is complicated, to say the least.

On the one hand, the two influential tech CEOs are close friends and business associates; on the other hand, Musk is genuinely worried that Page might just lead to the destruction of humanity as we know it.

"I'm really worried about this," Musk is quoted as saying in Elon Musk, a new authorized biography of the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.

"This," according to the book, refers to the possibility that Page would develop artificially-intelligent robots that could turn evil and have the ability to annihilate the human race.

Page may be well-meaning, but as Musk says, "He could produce something evil by accident."

There are some things of which to be scared in this life.

This is not one of them...

I'm worried about more probable catastrophes, for example, monkeys flying out of Hillary's butt who then take over the world, or Michael Moore eating just one thin mint causing him to detonate like an H-bomb.

I can see it all now: A NEW SOUTH PARK EPISODE! Elon Musk complains about Larry Page making a robot army that will destroy humanity, but everyone thinks he’s nuts. BUT, WAIT! Larry Page HAS BEEN creating a robot army to destroy humanity, and the robots look an awful lot like the battle droids in Star Wars!

BUT, WAIT! THERE’S MORE! Elon Musk has secretly been creating a secret army of CLONES on the moon (and in his Utah “battery” plant) using his SpaceX vehicles to shuttle supplies, etc., and just when things look their darkest for humanity, Elon’s rockets come roaring in with an army of clones to fight Larry’s droid army!

I think he already has.
