Elon Musk had a one-word response to Meek Mill after he showed off his all-black Cybertruck.
The American rapper is set to release a song named after the stainless steel truck, which will feature two Cybertrucks.
A Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and a Lamborghini Urus also feature, but they don’t make it into the title.
The Cybertruck is that big of a deal for Meek, apparently.

Meek Mill’s history with Tesla
The 37-year-old rapper, whose real name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, has a longstanding interest in Teslas.
In February of this year, he took to X and said: “Can I get a Tesla cyber truck?????”
A few months later, he’d vented his frustration at the news that more than 3,800 Cybertrucks had be recalled.
They had an issue with the accelerator pedal.
Ranting on X, he said: “Wassup with these cyber trucks because I had another brand electric car ‘not Tesla’ do the same thing I crashed and got hurt bad…
“The airbags didn’t even come out in a totaled car! Tesla has always been safe for me I tried some new s**t and it almost killed me the first day!”
Despite his apparent near brush with death, Meek still went on to pick up a Cybertruck – and earned the attention of Elon Musk himself.
He’s far from the first rapper to own one, as 2 Chainz also acquired a bold and distinctive looking Cybertruck.
How did Elon Musk react?
When a video of Meek in his Cybertruck made it onto X, Elon has a one word response that said a lot.
He said: “Cool.”
There’s a contender for understatement of the century.
Meek’s striking black ride looks like a mix between something out of The Dark Knight and Blade Runner.
The Cybertruck doesn’t allow for paint, so customers have to compromise with a wrap available at Tesla’s online shop or from a third party source.
Those available from Tesla cost between $5,000 and $6,000, as reported by Benzinga.
Meek is far from the first famous face to be linked to a Cybertruck, as it’s proved to be quite the celeb magnet.
Jay-Z, Serena Williams, Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga have all taken one in.
Kim Kardashian recently picked up a customized Cybertruck that is quite literally like no other.
Will she be getting a shout out from Elon? Watch this space.
