Founder of SpaceX and Tesla Motors Elon Musk and his wife, Talulah Riley, decided to take a stroll on the wing of a flying airplane! Riley's Instagram feed captured pictures of the couple's amazing feat, Yahoo reported.

Musk and Riley were flying with a Hampshire, England-based wing-walking team, Breitling. Breitling, a luxury brand watch company gives people like Elon Musk a chance to to wing walk on a plane moving at about 130 mph.

"Went for a nice wing walk. What could possibly go wrong?" a photo of Musk walking on the wing of the plane captioned.

"I understand people have a need for challenge and experience the ultimate but what could go wrong is the wind could shift, the thrill of the moment isn't worth the precious gift of life," said a comment about Elon Musk's daredevil act. "There's a cliché life has risks but we don't need to create them," the comment added.

"I knew two brothers in Georgia who were crop dusters in the 1950s-60s," said another comment on Yahoo. "Every year at the family reunion one would fly his bi-wing crop duster over the farm and climb out on the wing. He would fly at 200' and steer by shifting positions on the wings. Awesome!"

'I'm glad he's living it up, though I hope he doesn't get killed as he's one of the world's last hopes for reversing the way people think about clean energy," said a comment reflecting on Elon Musk's technical prowess.

Musk is not the type who shies away from a challenge, the Daily Mail shared.

"He is hoping to send man to Mars, land space rockets back on Earth and make electric cars travel 0-60 in under 3.2 seconds," said the Daily Mail.

Musk's wife Riley is an actress and the director of the movie, "Scottish Mussel."
