I'm having dinner with him tonight and Lorne," Davidson revealed to Meyers.Davidson said he was "really excited" to come face-to-face with Musk and joked that he planned to "ask him for a Tesla or some s**t."The 'The King of Staten Island ' actor also hinted at a plot he'd already come up with to secure a possibly free Tesla from the 49-year-old businessman."Be like, 'Hey, Mother's Day is coming up. My mom, you know, it would be cool...,'" Davidson continued.As reported by Fox News, Meyers pressed Davidson, who's not been shy about smoking marijuana, about whether he'd want to "get stoned" with Musk, to which he replied, "100,000 per cent.""That guy's a genius. I don't know why people are freaking out. They're like, 'I can't believe that Elon Musk is hosting.' And I'm like, 'The guy that makes the Earth better kind of, makes cool things and sends people to Mars?'" Pete continued.He also said he'd "100 per cent" go to space with Musk if he had the opportunity.Musk and Grimes share one child, a son named X AE A-12.
