An Elon Musk superfan (or a master of satire) has released a music video filmed on the back of a Tesla Cybertruck—and it’s just as wild as you might imagine.
Alessandra Basher, a self-described stay-at-home mom with dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian, posted the video on Sunday to her 56,867 followers on X. She explained that she felt compelled to write the song in response to the “nonsense hate” Musk has received for his role in dismantling federal agencies under the Trump administration.

Singing into a mic stand on the back of a Cybertruck, wearing a cowboy hat and a “Dogefather” T-shirt emblazoned with Musk’s face, Basher belts out the lyrics: “SpaceX flies / Tesla self-drives / Starlink beams with laser dreams / he’s got a master plan for our lives.”
Interspersed with clips of Musk speaking at Trump rallies, the song also credits the billionaire with “eliminating woke pain” and ensuring humanity’s future by “making kids to keep mankind alive.” Other lines include: “One more kid, one more brand, launching rockets with just one hand.”
It’s hard to believe someone would unironically post a music video titled “We Thank You, Elon Musk” shot in and on a Cybertruck—but that’s exactly the debate raging online. “Launching rockets with one hand is either the most subtle, nearly undetectable satire, or an unintentional burn,” one Bluesky user noted. “I had a real moment of doubt at the line about ‘more kids, more brands’ or whatever, but I’m still thinking it’s sincere,” another user added.
After facing backlash from “Tesla haters” who questioned whether this was a “leaked audition video from a woman hoping to bear Elon’s 53rd child,” Basher fired back in a follow-up post: “I’m not trying to have a baby with Elon,” she wrote on X. “I’m just having fun creating and performing a song to say thanks for what he did and is doing for this country and the world.”
While Musk himself has yet to respond, the reception on X was notably warmer than on Bluesky. “Alessandra, you are a star. That is fantastically good. Superbly done. On point and uplifting. Terrific!” one user gushed. Another Musk fan added, “I now listen to it every time I drive my CT. Thank you again.”
