Kanye West Pays Elon Musk a Visit at SpaceX
West and Musk have long been fans of one another.
Earlier last week, Kanye West and Wack 100 were spotted visiting SpaceX and appeared to receive a private tour from Elon Musk himself. Ye’s visit was documented by the CEO of Kano, Alex Kleinis while Wack took to Instagram to post his own photo with the founder to thank him for the visit.
Wack expressed his appreciation and wrote, “@elonmusk I appreciate the hospitality appreciate the Invite appreciate the business tips, appreciate the welcoming. I’m deaf to what’s beneath me. Shit just got different. Out with the OLD IN WITH THE NEW ! #AntiParkNGarage #GangstaButWokeASF.” The meeting between Musk and West was hardly unanticipated as both have been fans of one another for a long time. In the past decade, the pair have been spotted together starting in the beginning of 2011 when Musk revealed that West had already made a visit to SpaceX. In a 2015 article in Time, Musk praised West for his self-confidence and staying true to his ideas. He even went as far as labelling the rapper as a “cultural pantheon.” At the time Musk wrote, “Kanye’s belief in himself and his incredible tenacity — he performed his first single with his jaw wired shut — got him to where he is today. And he fought for his place in the cultural pantheon with a purpose. He’s not afraid of being judged or ridiculed in the process. Kanye’s been playing the long game all along, and we’re only just beginning to see why.”
Elon Musk is not the only high profile person Ye has met las week. HotNewHipHop has reported that he met up with the The Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort, who also attending West’s recent Sunday Service.
Take a look at the Musk and Ye meet-up below. Details of their conversation have not been revealed.
