The lyrics to Musk’s new four-minute-long track are: “Don’t doubt your vibe / because it’s you / don’t doubt your vibe / because it’s true.” The song was posted on Musk’s SoundCloud account, under the username Emo G Records, which could be a play on the word emoji.

At the time of writing, “Don’t Doubt ur Vibe” currently has more than 270,000 listens on SoundCloud. Twitter users were quick to react, with one photo of Musk in a studio gaining more than 70,000 likes in around three hours.

Elon Musk Rap Song
In 2019, Musk released a rap song dedicated to Harambe, the gorilla who was killed at Cincinnati Zoo in 2016 and quickly became an internet meme. Like “Don’t Doubt ur Vibe,” Musk also hosted this song on SoundCloud and announced it spontaneously via Twitter.
The lyrics to “RIP Harambe” include the following lines: “RIP Harambe / Sipping on some Bombay / We on our way to Heaven / Amen, Amen.”
You can listen to “Don’t Doubt ur Vibe” and “RIP Harambe” by Elon Musk on SoundCloud.
Elon Musk, 48, is the CEO of Tesla and the CEO of SpaceX and has an estimated net worth of $34.4 billion. He is active on social media and often engages in memes or becomes meme-d himself.
In October 2019, after pledging to donate $1 million worth of trees, Musk got dubbed “Treelon Musk”. In February 2019, Musk participated in a “meme review” video by controversial YouTuber PewDiePie, in which he gained attention and criticism for laughing at a meme of a dead deer.
