Billionaire Elon Musk was recently spotted partying on a yacht in Mykonos, Greece.

The 51-year-old Tesla CEO was accompanied by the founder of the Staud fashion brand, fashion designer Sarah Staudinger, 33, and her husband, agent Ari Emanuel, 61. His life and career served as the inspiration for the hit HBO series "Entourage."

Musk was photographed swimming about in the water, drying off with a towel, and enjoying a drink on board the yacht in dozens of photographs shared by the Daily Mail. The pictures ultimately started going viral on Twitter, and even the SpaceX founder couldn't help but joke about it.

Of course, it's very likely that Musk was just enjoying some R&R over the weekend and was already back to work by Monday when the pictures were finally distributed online. Some people didn't buy it, but many of his supporters wished him well.
