‘We Thank You, Elon Musk’: Superfan Alessandra Basher’s music video has divided the internet
Eve Upton-Clark 3-3 minutes 3/25/2025
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.”
I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and think she was almost imperceptibly satirizing Musk worship but I couldnt quite find any evidence of that.
But as the like to say, but wait there is more, His spinoff from X XAI is valued at more than 50 billion, or more than he paid for twitter so we are now at 94 billion.........

Satire has to be perceptible otherwise it has no impact.

Dear God in Heaven. This woman has drunk the koolaid and is asking for more.
She wants to be a stand-up comedian? Really? Shouldn't a comedian have a sense of humor?
I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and think she was almost imperceptibly satirizing Musk worship but I couldnt quite find any evidence of that.
And yes, the video is revolting.
The left loves to Bash Musk, many predicted his decline, and i think some even claimed twitter would be gone in a year, what is it worth now?
But as the like to say, but wait there is more, His spinoff from X XAI is valued at more than 50 billion, or more than he paid for twitter so we are now at 94 billion.........
XAI Is Reportedly Worth More Than What Elon Musk Paid for Twitter - Business Insider
And somehow, they think he's a "failed" businessman.
Wishful thinking.
We already know the thinking part is not part of the equation.
Somehow I get the feeling only one person who responded to this seed watched the video.
Incorrectamundo. I watched it.
1. She has a decent voice
2. Elon can't dance
3. I can't think of any reason this would get anyone's panties in a bunch unless they like having their panties in a bunch.
4. If she makes a few bucks off the song good for her.
5. I won't be buying the song but I might to send it to my liberal friends who are buying into the musk hate.
The best part of the Tesla hate is watching liberals key each other's cars. Priceless.
