Nicki Minaj shocked fans with her latest endorsement of Elon Musk.
The week has just begun and the Super Bass singer, 42, has already shocked her fans twice as she follows her Donald Trump praise with a “strange” message for the Tesla founder, 54.
On Monday, Nov. 3, Elon took to his social media platform, X, with some wise words of wisdom for his fans. He first pointed out, “There are a lot of negative things in the world. There are a lot of terrible things that are happening all over the world, all the time. There are lots of problems that need to get solved.”

“So there are lots of things that are miserable and kind of get you down, but life can not just be about solving one miserable problem after another,” he continued. “That can’t be the only thing.
“There need to be things that inspire you, that make you glad to wake up in the morning and be part of humanity,” he added.

“Earth is the cradle of humanity but you cannot stay in the cradle of humanity. It is time to go forth, become a star-faring civilization. Be out there among the stars. Stand the scope and scale of human consciousness. I find that incredibly exciting. That makes me glad to be alive. I hope you feel the same,” Musk concluded.
The billionaire’s advice garnered immense attention with 11 million views and 215,000 likes. However, one person’s praise stood out more than the rest.
Nicki Minaj had reposted the video along with a caption that said, “Speak Elon, we’re listening.”
Her fans were baffled by her response, with one saying, “Strangest rebrand ever. I’m here to watch it play out.”
Another added, “We didn’t have ‘Nicki Minaj endorsing Elon Musk’ on our 2025 bingo card!”
“Glad to see there are actually free thinkers out there in the music industry. Definitely did not have Nicki Minaj supporting Elon Musk on my bingo card…. Love to see it though,” a third chimed in.

Minaj’s endorsement of Musk comes just a day after she praised the U.S. president and admitted his initiative has given her a “deep sense of gratitude.”
Trump has listed Nigeria as “a country of particular concern” over Islamist attacks against local Christians.
After hearing about his actions, she took to X once again to thank the president for his acknowledgement on the issue.
Unlike the singer’s endorsement of Musk, her admiration for Trump wasn’t welcomed by fans.
One wrote, “Nicki Minaj really managed to disappoint me over and over again since last year. Sometimes her choices and the way she acts are just insane. Supporting Donald Trump is crazy.”
