Musk and Trump have developed a close bond in recent months, with the Space X founder seen at the tycoon’s rallies and Trump’s election night celebration.
He even joined Trump on his trip to Washington, D.C., where the president-elect spoke with Biden and Republicans on Capitol Hill.
Musk and Trump sent diehard supporters wild with their duet of the song, performed by opera singer Chris Macchio.
But, it appeared the words didn’t come naturally to Musk.
