Elon Musk called out Beyonce for being a fake country artist, and said she should be fined.
00:05
Elon Musk, the billionaire tech mogul who's always got something to say,
00:20
whether we asked for it or not, has decided to take on none other than Queen Bey herself.
00:26
That's right folks, Beyonce, the undisputed icon of music, is now in Elon's crosshairs,
00:32
and it's all about her latest album, Cowboy Carter. Apparently Elon thinks Beyonce is out
00:37
here faking her country vibes, and even suggested she should be fined for it.
00:42
Yes, fined. Like, what is this, a traffic violation? So, here's the tea,
00:48
Beyonce dropped Cowboy Carter, her highly anticipated country album,
00:52
and the world collectively lost its mind. From soulful ballads to twangy bops,
00:58
Beyonce proved once again that she can literally do anything, but not everyone was vibing with
01:04
her new sound. Enter Elon Musk, who took to his favorite platform, you guessed it,
01:09
ex-formerly Twitter, to air his grievances. Elon Musk said Beyonce should be fined for
01:14
doing country music. Naturally, the Beyhive had thoughts. In a now-deleted tweet, because of
01:20
course it was deleted, Elon wrote, Beyonce is a great artist, but this country stuff?
01:26
Come on, she's impersonating a country artist. Should be fined for that.
01:30
Cue the collective gasp from the Beyhive and music lovers everywhere. Elon, my guy, are you okay?
01:37
Since when are you the gatekeeper of musical genres?
01:40
As expected, Elon's comments started an absolute firestorm online. Fans of Beyonce were quick to
01:46
clap back, reminding Elon that music is about evolution and experimentation. Elon Musk seems to
01:53
be pretending he's the CEO of country music. Maybe he should sit this one out. Beyonce could drop an
01:59
album of whale noises, and it would still outpace his Tesla stock in sales. Perhaps it's time for
02:04
him to stay in his lane. But it wasn't just the Beyhive coming for Elon. Even some country music
02:10
fans were pushing back, arguing that Beyonce's album was a masterpiece and that country music
02:16
should be open to everyone. On the flip side, some sided with Elon, feeling that Beyonce's
02:22
foray into country music seemed inauthentic, almost like a cash grab. They argued that it
02:27
felt more like she was hopping on a trend for the sake of popularity. Beyonce didn't even bother
02:33
with Elon's nonsense. Because why would she? Beyonce is the epitome of unbothered. While Elon
02:39
was out here tweeting and deleting, Beyonce was busy breaking records and slaying performances.
02:44
Elon's comments, while wild, have sparked a bigger conversation about who gets to define
02:50
what a genre is. Country music, like all genres, has a rich history and cultural roots. But does
02:56
that mean it's off-limits to artists who didn't grow up in the South or haven't been singing
03:00
about pickup trucks their whole career? Absolutely not. Music is constantly evolving, and artists
03:07
like Beyonce, who have the talent and vision to explore new sounds, are what keep it fresh
03:13
and exciting. Remember when Taylor Swift went pop? Or when Lil Nas X blended country and hip-hop
03:19
with Old Town Road? These moments challenge the status quo and remind us that art isn't meant to
03:24
be confined to boxes. Let's be real, this isn't the first time Elon has inserted himself into a
03:30
conversation where he probably didn't belong. From his takes on AI to his random beefs with
03:36
other celebrities, remember when he called Mark Zuckerberg a cuck? Elon has a habit of stirring
03:42
the pot. Elon Musk really thought he could take on Beyonce? That's a bold move, even for him.
03:48
Some are speculating that this is just another one of Elon's attention-grabbing stunts.
03:53
After all, the man knows how to stay in the headlines. But others think there might be a
03:58
deeper issue here. Could Elon's criticism of Beyonce be rooted in something more? Jealousy?
04:04
Insecurity? A desperate need to feel relevant in the world of pop culture? We may never know.
04:10
Of course, no one comes for Beyonce without facing the wrath of the Beyhive.
04:15
Fans have been flooding social media with memes, clapbacks, and reminders of Beyonce's unparalleled
04:21
legacy. Elon Musk really thought he could take on the woman who survived the elevator fight with
04:26
Solange? Bless his heart. Others have pointed out the irony of Elon, a man who's made billions
04:32
off innovation and disruption, criticizing someone for pushing boundaries. Elon Musk,
04:38
we need to innovate and think outside the box. Also Elon Musk, Beyonce, stay in your lane.
04:45
Make it make sense. At the end of the day, this whole drama boils down to one thing.
04:50
Let artists be artists. Beyonce has spent over two decades proving that she's one of the most
04:56
talented and versatile performers of our time. If she wants to make a country album,
05:01
she's earned that right. And if Elon Musk wants to tweet about it, well, that's his right too,
05:06
but maybe he should stick to talking about rockets and AI.
