LISTEN: Billionaire businessman Elon Musk has dropped a rap single dedicated to the late gorilla Harambe

Elon Musk Mars

If this were released on Monday, we’d automatically chalk it up to an April Fool’s joke.

Is this… What is this?

What is happening right now?

(looks in glass of water) Did somebody spike this?

Seriously, what is happening right now?

I’m trying my best to remain calm and level headed, but this weekend, tech billionaire Elon Musk took to Twitter to drop a song titled “RIP Harambe”, which appears to feature Musk himself under several layers of Auto-Tune, rapping about the late gorilla Harambe.

So, again, (deep breath, remaining calm), what is happening right now?

Maybe it is an early April Fool’s joke? It would certainly explain the lyrics: “RIP Harambe, sipping on some Bombay, we on our way to Heaven, amen, amen!” or “All we ever do, is be thinking about you, when we back at the zoo, we thinking about you.”

“I’m disappointed that my record label failed.”

Considering Musk’s apparent net worth is a little over TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS, you’d think you could’ve afforded to produce something better than this?

Presuming it is actually him?

And presuming it isn’t an April Eve’s joke?

So many question, so few answers, but what we should be most thankful for is the fact that the song is barely 90 seconds long.

Enjoy….?
