"I'm a big fan of anyone who wants to build. So, I think anyone who wants to make more than they take has my respect," the Tesla founder said during the interview.
He also advised that entrepreneurs should concentrate on developing their product rather than chasing money.
"If you want to create something valuable financially, you don't pursue that. It's best to actually pursue providing useful products and services. If you do that, then money will come as a natural consequence of that as opposed to pursuing money directly," he told the Zerodha co-founder.
