I'm inspired by Elon Musk: Jaden Smith

Actor-singer Jaden Smith, who is the son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, said he is inspired by businessman Elon Musk.

"(I want to be seen as) a person that is trying their hardest to be like Elon Musk - somebody that's trying to be an artist, and somebody that's trying to help in any way I can. When people think of me, I want them to think of the person that is always giving back to something, or someone," Smith told billboard.com.

Jaden previously appeared in hit movies such as "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "The Karate Kid". He is currently focused on his music career, following the recent launch of his debut album "Syre".

"It really is the story of me coming to be a young adult, and it wasn't easy at all," he said.
