In 2019, I wrote a song about the state of the world (AI robots, climate change, fake news, online consumption) and I tied it around the theme of having to leave earth with the help of Elon Musk.

Since Elon took over Twitter, his image has taken a downward turn. And thus, for listeners, I think, so has my song (which I have just released).

For me, I neither love or hate him. I think most of his work is incredible and brilliant (in particular Neuralink, which could have great impact for people with disabilities. In my video, the monkey is playing Pong wirelessly via a brain-implanted Neuralink chip. Also there is Starlink's satellite service to Ukraine, which Musk continues to fund for free). But from my understanding, it was his treatment of his Twitter staff as well as his outspoken right-leaning views that irked a lot of people. Anyway, here's my song...

Interesting note based on Reddit comments: For Musk-supporters, they dislike the song because they think the song is criticising him. For Musk-non-supporters, they dislike the song because they think the song heaps praise on him. I suppose they're both right, lol. And to be fair, they might just dislike the song because of its melody, singing, production, etc.
