Internet laughs at ‘cringe' music video that celebrates Musk and his ‘master plan to save our lives'
An Elon Musk superfan has created a music video filmed on the back of a Tesla Cybertruck that celebrates the billionaire's 'master plan to save our lives.'
Alessandra Basher, who describes herself as a stay-at-home mom who 'dreams' of becoming a stand-up comedian, has been mocked online for the video branded the 'most cringe thing on the internet right now.'
Basher, who shared the video Sunday with her 5,600 followers on X, said she was compelled to write the song because of the 'nonsense hate' Musk is receiving for his leading role in gutting the federal government on behalf of the Trump administration.
'Space X flies, Tesla self drives,' Basher sings in the Tesla vehicle while wearing a 'The Dogefather' t-shirt with Musk's face. 'Starlink beams with laser dreams, he's got a master plan for our lives.'
The mom, whose video is cut with clips of the tech mogul speaking at Trump rallies, also credits Musk for 'eliminating woke pain' and 'making kids to keep mankind alive.'
We thank you, Elon Musk. pic.twitter.com/6JwIgyB8Jy

Other lyrics include: 'One more kid, one more brand, launching rockets with just one hand.'
It didn't go down well, even among users on Musk's own social media platform X.
'That is so much cringe,' one person reacted to her music video. 'There's cringe. And then there's this s***.' another said.
'Literally the most cringe thing on the internet right now,' someone else wrote.
'Can't tell if this is parody. But it's definitely creepy either way,' another said.
Even some Musk fans struggled with the tribute to the world's richest man. 'Huge Elon fan but I hated every second of this,' someone said, while others mused whether the video was a satire. 'I thought this was satire for sure but it's obviously impossible to tell in these ridiculous times,' another person chimed in.
After receiving flack from 'Tesla haters,' Basher hit back in a follow up post to her music video debut. ' I'm not trying to have a baby with Elon,' she said. '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. I had to do this because all the nonsense hate he is getting.'
Some fellow Musk fans enjoyed the song. 'I now listen to it every time I drive my CT. Thank you again,' someone replied to Basher. 'Alessandra, you are a star. That is fantastically good. Superbly done,' another person said.
So far her video has racked up 1.8 million views. The billionaire is yet to respond.
Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations have persistently been targets of protests and attacks since President Donald Trump took office and made Musk a key partner overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency initiative that has led to mass layoffs, budget cuts, and attempts to shutter multiple federal agencies.
Trade-ins of Tesla vehicles reportedly hit a record high this month as the brand faces off against an ever-growing field of EV competitors — and a fierce political backlash to Musk.

What Elon Musk wore to the White House foreshadowed his downfall
In case you missed it, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have fallen out. For some – and in particular anyone looking at the tech billionaire's White House wardrobe – this will come as little surprise. Long before anyone hit send on those inflammatory tweets, or tensions spilled out over Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' (OBBB), Musk's political downfall was written in the stitching. During his time in the White House, Musk shunned the sartorial rulebook of someone at the shoulder of a president, where suits and ties are the common code. He wore dark Maga baseball caps at the Oval Office and told a rally in New York: 'I'm not just Maga, I'm dark gothic Maga.' Then there were the T-shirts with slogans such as 'Occupy Mars', 'Tech Support' and 'Dogefather'. At campaign rallies, commentators noted he looked 'more like he belonged at a Magic: The Gathering tournament than a political event', his dress sense the style equivalent of the k-holes that it is claimed Musk frequently disappeared into. The more casual styles of Musk and his Silicon Valley tech bros – where stiff collars are eschewed in favour or crewnecks, tailored jackets softly pushed out the door by padded gilets – are light years away from those of the suited-and-booted US Capitol. But if Musk's clobber signalled a new DC power shift, it also spoke to different norms. 'Disruption might be a badge of honour in the tech space,' says DC-based image coach and style strategist Lauren A Rothman, 'but in politics, chaos has a much shorter runway. The White House has been around for a long time. We're not going to stop wearing suits … This is the uniform.' All of this dressing down, dressing objectively badly and dressing 'inappropriately' has form. Consider, if you can bear to, the case of Dominic Cummings. The former Boris Johnson aide subjected Westminster to dishevelment, Joules gilets, beanies, Billabong T-shirts and tote bags advertising the 1983 gothic-inspired horror novel The Woman in Black. He wasn't just a Tory, he was a gothic horror Tory. As Jonathan Freedland, the Guardian columnist and host of the Guardian's Politics Weekly America podcast, notes: 'Dressing down is usually a power move in politics, just as it is in the boardroom: only the most powerful can get away with it.' That was, he says, the message Cummings sent 'when he roamed Number 10 in a gilet: 'You lot are worker bees who have to wear a uniform, whereas I'm so indispensable to the man at the top, I can wear what I like'.' It was the same with Musk, whose threads were a flipped bird to all those Oval Office stiffs in suits. As Rothman puts it: 'His uniform of casual defiance stands in sharp contrast to that traditionally suited corridor of political power.' And that contrast screams out his different, special status. Before him, there was 'Sloppy Steve' Bannon, a man never knowingly under-shirted. On this side of the Atlantic, Freedland points to former David Cameron adviser Steve Hilton and his penchant for turning up to meetings barefoot: 'ditching the shoes was an instant way of signalling his membership of the inner circle'. It's that age-old question: who has the privilege to be scruffy? As Freedland puts it: 'Musk was happy to stand next to the Resolute desk of the president looking like he was dressed for a gamers' convention. That was his way of reminding everyone of his superior wealth and unique status, outside conventional politics.' Sign up to Fashion Statement Style, with substance: what's really trending this week, a roundup of the best fashion journalism and your wardrobe dilemmas solved after newsletter promotion But what Cummings and Musk share in sartorial disorder, they also share in political trajectories. Scruffy Icaruses who flew too close to the sun; their clothes a foreshadowing of their fall. Trump might talk about draining the swamp, but his Brioni suits are very much swamp-coded – plus, while Johnson might have had strategically unruly hair and ill-fitting suits as crumpled as a chip wrapper, suits they still were. Ultimately, nobody likes a bragger. Because dressing in a way in which your privilege is omnipresent if not outright stated, is a surefire way to piss people off. Not least Trump, who noted that Musk had 'some very brilliant young people working for him that dress much worse than him, actually', in an interview on Fox in February. 'The contrast between Musk's garb and Trump's cabinet,' according to Freedland, 'made them look and seem inferior: servants of the president rather than his equal. It was one more reason why more than a few in Trumpworld are glad to see the (poorly tailored) back of Elon Musk.'

DJs Scottish Donald Trump impression goes viral in hilarious skits
Steven Galloni said he has been flooded with requests from companies and musicians to help promote them. A Scot has spoken of his joy at his Scottish Donald Trump character going viral - after his hilarious social media sketches have racked up over a million views. Restaurant boss, DJ and podcaster Steven Galloni - who is known as Gal - posted several clips of 'Big Donnie' on his TikTok. The skits talk of Trump on nights out and ridicule his spat with Tesla, X, formerly Twitter, and SpaceX boss Elon Musk. Gal, who also regularly does stand up comedy, said he has been asked by companies and fellow musicians to plug their creations. But he says the best part of his new found fame is that he's been making ill Scottish grannies laugh in their hospital beds. Gal, who was born in Italy but raised in Dumbarton, said: "I've been doing accents and impressions since I was like 5 years old so I've always experimented with voices. So a character like Trump I've been trying his voice for a long time. "It's got better and better over time. The Scottish twist to it just came naturally. It's currently sat at half a million views on my own TikTok alone. But a few big pages have shared it on FB too which was like nearly 500k. "Collectively it's sitting really quite high over a million views which is nuts. I honestly just make my mates laugh all the time with the impressions so to see them get so much traction online is really cool! I'm usually doing everyone's nut in."

During the coronavirus pandemic, Gal and pal Stephen Kirkwood were forced to adapt when restrictions dented their music and training business, SKapade Studios. Inspired by old recipes handed down from Gal's gran, they opened authentic Italian restaurant Bangin' Pizza, serving pizzas made of only the finest Italian ingredients. And Big Donnie has given Gal the chance to embark on another career and possibly even his own TV show. He said: "I've had a few different requests. A couple companies wanting me to promote them, a couple of music artists too. "Loads of people telling me to start a personalised video service, like on Cameo. I'm thinking about it but I'm not sure. I'm still enjoying building a wee following here so we will see. It could be funny. "I've done stand up on and off for years and have always been a comedian. I'm definitely brewing up my own show or something. I love being on stage so I'm keen to get something together for Big Donnie. "I think it would be hilarious. But I'm just taking it all in my stride. I'm buzzing with the reaction that it's getting and I just want to thank everyone for the overwhelmingly positive support and love. "The most surprising thing is the messages of support I'm getting. It also seems like whole families are enjoying the content. So many people have told me their whole family have been laughing. "Wee grannies in hospitals have had their days lit up with Scottish Trump and people who are going through a lot have told me that the silly impressions have lifted their spirits. There's honestly been some mind blowing positive love has been coming my way. "It's such a nice thing to hear. I've also followed up with other videos that are doing pretty well and I can't believe how much folk are loving Scottish Trump." Gal's TikTok is @stevengalloni.

Japan's 'Empress of Pop' addresses claims Elon Musk is father of her child
A huge Japanese pop star, Ayumi Hamasaki, has addressed the rumours that she secretly had Elon Musk's baby. The speculation started when another of the women Musk had a child with – MAGA author and influencer Ashley St. Clair – told The New York Times that he had a baby with a Japanese pop star. Hamasaki quickly became the primary suspect as fans discussed which J-Pop star St. Clair might have been referring to. 'I've been keeping an eye on this, and I guess it's time for me to speak up. Elon Musk is not the father of [either of] my children,' Hamasaki wrote on her Instagram Story, according to Tokyo Weekender. Hamasaki, 46, has two sons with two different men, born in 2019 and 2021. She has never revealed the identities of the fathers. According to text messages obtained by The Wall Street Journal, Musk texted St. Clair in 2023 about meeting with 'Japanese officials' about becoming a sperm donor for a high-profile Japanese woman. 'He made it seem like it was just his altruism and he generally believed these people should just have children,' St. Clair, who gave birth to his 13th child last year, said. 'They want me to be a sperm donor. No romance or anything, just sperm,' Musk texted St. Clair before telling her he had agreed to give his sperm to the woman. Musk has previously claimed that 'civilization is going to crumble' if people don't continue to have children, and views his paternal contributions as a way of combating this. Hamasaki laughed off the rumours, admitting its the kind of thing she might do: 'Even my mom laughed when she heard the rumours, saying, 'This seems kind of Ayu-like,' and if I were someone else, I'd probably be saying 'Ayu is the pop star [St Clair] was talking about, right?' But it's just not true,' she said on Instagram. She continued, in a more serious tone: 'Setting aside my personal image, when my kids are old enough to start Googling things, I don't want them to run into the rumors and think they're true, so I'm firmly denying them,' the singer added. Hamasaki is the best-selling solo artist in Japan, having sold over 50million albums and earning her the title 'Empress of Pop' across all of Asia. As of 2025, Musk has fathered at least 14 children with four different women. Musk's first known children were with his ex-wife Justine Wilson, a Canadian author. The couple had six children together: Their first son, Nevada Alexander, tragically died of SIDS at just 10 weeks old. They later welcomed twins, Griffin and Vivian, in 2004, followed by triplets, Kai, Saxon, and Damian, in 2006. In 2022, Vivian publicly distanced herself from Musk, coming out as transgender, legally changing her name, and adopting her mother's surname. Musk also shares three children with musician Grimes (Claire Boucher). Their first child, X Æ A-Xii, was born in 2020 and became a viral sensation thanks to his name. He was also spotted at the White House last week – without his mother's consent. 'He should not be in public like this,' Grimes wrote following the appearance. 'I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I'm glad he was polite. Sigh.' In 2021, the couple welcomed a daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, via surrogate. Despite a publicly rocky relationship, they had a third child, Techno Mechanicus (nicknamed Tau), reportedly born in 2024. In 2021, Musk quietly had twins with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his brain-computer interface company Neuralink. The births weren't publicly known until court documents surfaced in 2022. More Trending Since then, Zilis and Musk have had two more children: one in early 2024 and another – a son named Seldon Lycurgus – in February 2025. His child with St. Clair was only revealed in February, after St Clair, who has over a million followers on X wrote: 'Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.' She added: 'I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child's privacy and safety, but in recent days, it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.' After the billionaire commented 'whoa' in response, St Clair wrote a now deleted comment: 'Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days, and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?' Got a story?
