Elon Musk Writes Back to a Fifth Grade Student and Promises to Hold a Competition to Find the Best Homemade Commercial for Tesla

The founder and chief executive of Tesla Elon Musk has written back to a fifth grade student—Bria, daughter of Twitter user Steven—and promised her to hold a competition to find the best homemade commercial for Tesla.

Musk is an active Twitter user and regularly informs public about the upcoming products and plans of the company.

Recently, Bria had written a letter to Musk—as part of a school project— and suggested him that Tesla should run a competition to find the best homemade commercial for the company, which has been averse to commercials.

Bria’s letter was shared her father Steven, who is a journalist and a professor at Art Institute of Michigan.

“I have noticed that you do not advertise, but many people make homemade commercials for Tesla and some of them are very good, they look professional and they are entertaining. So, I think that you should run a competition on who can make the best homemade Tesla commercial and the winners will get their commercial aired,” Bria said in her letter.

“You could give the winners a year of free Supercharging or a Model 3 Easter Egg or something,” Bria suggested.

“The cool part is that you still won’t be taking the time and money to advertise for yourself,” she wrote, adding “it would be so cool if you could hook me up with a Tesla t-shirt.”

In his response, Musk thanked her and announced on Twitter that Tesla will hold a contest for homemade advertisements.

“Thank you for the lovely letter. That sounds like a great idea. We’ll do it!” Musk responded.

Bria, who aspires to be a politician, wrote that Tesla cars were the “best thing” she had ever seen and that she hoped to drive a Tesla car in the future.

Bria, who wants to be a politician, also expressed her disappointment over Tesla cars not being sold in Michigan.
