But Musk doesn’t only enjoy listening to music, he also makes it. In January 2020, the 49-year-old multi-billionaire shared an EDM track titled, “Don’t Doubt ur Vibe,” a song he both wrote and performed.
Musk’s longtime girlfriend,Grimes, is also a singer. They welcomed their first child together,X AE A-Xii, on May 4, 2020.
Kirkhorn’s new title — Master of Coin — is likely not only a nod toGame of Thrones,but also the company’s investment in the cryptocurrencybitcoin.
In February, Tesla announced it had bought$1.5 billion worth of Bitcoinand would be allowing customers to purchase vehicles with the digital currency.
“I do at this point think Bitcoin is a good thing. I’m late to the party, but I am a supporter of bitcoin,” Musk — whobriefly became the world’s wealthiest personin November — recently said on the audio chat app Clubhouse,CNNreported.
