Tyler , the Creator dropped his hit strain “ 911 ” in 2017 with the melodic line : “ Sucks you ca n’t gas me up , shout out to Elon Musk . ” However , whileperforming this weekendat the Austin City Limits music festival nearby Tesla ’s Texas headquarters , the Grammy - winning artist changed the latter one-half of the lyric to : “ man , f**k Elon . ”
It is n’t clear why Tyler changed his tune on Tesla ’s CEO ( and right before the company’srobotaxi event ) . But polling data point shows that Tesla possessor ofboth major political partiesunfavorably view Musk ’s evolution from stupendous technical school CEO to materialistic culture warrior . ( Musk reportedly plan tocampaign furtherfor U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump after ananimated campaign appearanceearlier this week . )
Tyler , the Creator has also been vital of generative AI , which Musk is actively building with x. AI and Grok . In aninterview earlier this yr , Tyler tell AI “ will never take in up to me creatively . ” That ’s a consummate direct contrast to Musk , who said this summer at Cannes Lions that AI will onlyenhance human creativity .
