Elon

by Lindsey Eck

with apologies to “Levon” by Elton John and Bernie Taupin



Elon wears his Ray-Bans like a clown
Calls his child X Æ A-12
’Cause he likes the name
Sends his Teslas through a tunnel underground

And Elon, Elon likes his money
He lost a lot they say
Spends his days tweeting
From a spaceport down Boca Chica way

He was born a scion to a boss
In the RSA
When The New York Times said crypto’s rad
And the crash had begun
Austin, Texas, has a czar today

And he shall be Elon
And he shall be a rich man
And he shall be Elon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Elon
And he shall be a rich man
He shall be Elon

Elon sells cars to tycoons in town
He’s had his fill of Grimes
Twitter blows up the news all day
He whiffed in court while Justice mulls fines

His meanness sent loads of jobs to Venus
While Elon heads to Mars
Start with the moon while Twitter’s failing
IT men, IT men bear the scars

He was born …
