Elon Musk drops bizarre RAP single about Harambe the gorilla

From branded flamethrowers to cyborg dragons, Elon Musk is known for his weird and wacky ideas.

Now, the Tesla CEO has taken the weirdness up a notch, after launching his debut rap single.

And before you ask - no, this isn’t an April Fools’ Day prank story!

The bizarre rap, called ‘RIP Harambe ’ is dedicated to the 17-year-old gorilla who was shot at Cincinnati Zoo back in 2016.
