First came Hyperloop - the speedway vacuum system for cars.
Then came the plan to colonize to Mars.
And just when you thought he must have run out of crazy, Elon Musk has dropped an auto-tune rap song called 'RIP Harambe' on Saturday, referring to the killing of Harambe - the gorilla who had been shot dead on May 28, 2016, at the Cincinnati zoo in an effort to rescue a 3-year-old boy who had fallen into the gorilla's enclosure. The shooting had sparked worldwide outrage among animal lovers.
Musk had released his song on SoundCloud account - Emo G records tweeting:
"I'm disappointed that my record label failed"
In the 1:56 minutes-long song, Musk describes Harambe (the gorilla) relaxing while 'sipping on some Bombay' (a cocktail) en route to heaven. He keeps repeating how animal lovers around the world 'keep thinking about him'. He sings that they miss him while at the zoo where Harambe may have been 'smoking on some strong hay'.
The track, which Musk promoted to his 25 million fans on Twitter, had about 500,000 plays as of Sunday evening itself.

This new rap song id yet another achievement added to Elon Musk's eccentric collection of ideas like - colonizing Mars by 2024, envisioning a Martian government, self-driving electric (Tesla) cars, satellite constellation - a globe-spanning network of internet satellites, Boring Company's flame thrower and his successful launch of the Tesla 'Roadster' which served as the dummy payload for the February 2018 Falcon Heavy test flight containing a mannequin dressed in a spacesuit had occupied the driver's seat
