Elon Musk's Twitter account is a hotbed of controversy.

The CEO habitually updates the world aboutthe state of Tesla and Space X.He uses the social networking website to pullpranks, share memes and make baffling declarations that have landed him into trouble in the past.

More recently, however, he shared news that his followers seemed to support.

Just over a week before the end of 2019,one of his followers asked the billionaire about his favorite movie and Netflix series of the past 12 months. Depending on how closely you've been following the tech tycoon, the answers may be surprising.

Musk said that the comedic thriller "Parasite" was his favorite film.

The gut-twisting movie,written and directed by Bong Joon-Ho, centers around a poorSouth Korean family and their fixation ona wealthier, more glamorous family. The New Yorker compared it to Jordan Peele's "Us" and thefilm has received critical acclaim, winning the top prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

"Parasite was fantastic," one person replied to the Tesla CEO. Another called the movie "Really good."

Musk, a notorious video game and sci-fifanatic, said hisfavorite Netflix series was "Black Mirror." The show's fifth season premiered this year with an interactive gaming episode and one installment starred Miley Cyrus in the form of ahome robot.

Oddly enough, people on the internet compared Tesla's polarizing Cybertruck to something straight out of the dystopian Netflix show which explores society's fixation on technology. The suspenseful British series "explores a twisted, high-tech near-future where humanity's greatest innovations and darkest instincts collide," according to Netflix.

One follower said he is waiting for a collaboration between Tesla and "'Black Mirror'to show potential future downsides to car autonomy/AI if we arent careful."

Musk has had a rocky relationship with Twitter this year.

Over the summer, he claimed he was deleting his account after posting about Teslalanded him in legal trouble.He proceeded to keep it open. He also conflated preorders with "orders" when gloating about the Cybertruck's sales.

The Tesla CEO has more than 30 million followers.
