Tyler, The Creator’s Change of Heart Towards Elon Musk: A Look Back at Their Relationship
Tyler, The Creator has never been one to shy away from controversy, and his recent performance at ACL Fest was no exception. The rapper took the opportunity to publicly diss Elon Musk, a stark departure from his previous admiration for the Tesla founder.
During his performance of “911/Mr. Lonely,” Tyler changed the lyrics to include a scathing remark about Musk, declaring, “Man f*ck Elon” to the delight of the crowd. This change of heart comes as Musk has fallen out of favor in popular culture, becoming a target for memes and mockery.
It’s a far cry from Tyler’s previous praise for Musk, which included a tweet in 2016 thanking him for “changing the world” with electric vehicles. The rapper even compared Musk to rap icons like JAY-Z and Diddy during a 2015 interview, highlighting his admiration for the inventor.
But times have changed, and Tyler is not alone in his disillusionment with Musk. The rapper’s bold statement at ACL Fest reflects a broader shift in public perception of the controversial figure.
As Tyler, The Creator continues to evolve as an artist, his willingness to speak his mind and challenge the status quo remains a defining characteristic. Whether he’s praising or criticizing, one thing is certain – Tyler will always do and say exactly what he wants.
