During the ACL Fest on Sunday, October 6, 2024, Tyler, the Creator delivered a surprising rendition of his 2017 track, “911/Mr. Lonely.”The audience was taken aback as he altered the lyrics, transforming the piece into a diss aimed at Elon Musk.
While performing, Tyler rapped:
“Can’t see straight, these shades are Céline Dion. Sucks you can’t gas me up, shout out to Elon… Musk, yeah I got a sold out show. Crowd wild out but don’t matter ’cause you not front row. Man f*ck Elon.”
As clips from the festival circulated on social media, many users began to comment on Tyler’s unexpected lyrics. One Twitter user remarked on @Kurrco’s post:
“Tyler just out flaming people for no reason what is bro doing.”
Others questioned Tyler’s decision to change the lyrics, with one user stating:
“Cringe, it’s only cool for normal ppl to hate Elon,” added another social media commenter.
“Tyler is out of styles and has to resort to influencer moves, dissing,” wrote yet another netizen.
A number of users expressed disdain towards Tyler, suggesting that Musk might not even recognize him:
“Elon don’t even know you Tyler,” claimed one user.
“Elon could literally employ you to be his gate man. Pipe down bro,” added another.
“Elon definitely gon clap back,” stated another user.
Tyler, the Creator’s Past Admiration for Elon Musk: A Look Back at Their History
In light of Tyler, the Creator’s recent tirade against Elon Musk, many social media users highlighted how the rapper had previously admired the billionaire. Over ten years ago, Tyler frequently praised Musk, often tweeting and posting about him, even letting Musk know when he bought one of his electric vehicles.
In a 2016 tweet, Tyler expressed his gratitude for Musk’s innovations that challenged the dominance of gas-guzzling vehicles:
“@elonmusk I LOVE YOU THANK YOU FOR CHANGING THE WORLD. AND MAKING THE EVIL OIL MEN WHO RUN THE WORLD HATE YOU.”
Moreover, after Tyler was involved in a car accident in October 2018—when his Tesla Model X collided with a parked car—he expressed gratitude to Musk once more. In an Instagram post detailing the incident, Tyler said:
“my big doopy a*s usually go to sleep at 10:30 (I wake up at 7 er morn) and guess who wanted to finish music super late and dosed off for a few seconds while driving home, I’m a dumb a*s bi*ch but lil mama don’t have a scratch I’m lucky. I calmly jumped out the back and called the people. Thanks, Elon for the excessive airbags u a qt. good day sir.”
As of now, Elon Musk has yet to respond to Tyler, the Creator’s diss at the ACL Festival.
