In the video, Musk discussed the state of the world and the importance of inspiration, saying, "There are a lot of negative things in the world. There are lots of problems that need to get solved... There need to be things that inspire you, that make you glad to wake up in the morning and be part of humanity."
He urged humans to embrace space exploration, calling it "incredibly exciting."
Fans were quick to react, expressing disbelief over Minaj's support. One commented, "Strangest rebrand ever. I'm here to watch it play out."

Some praised her for independent thinking, while others were confused about the alignment of her statements.

We’re all here for it
Backlash from Minaj's Trump comments
Minaj's endorsement of Musk followed a separate, controversial praise of President Donald Trump.
According to Fox News, she shared a screenshot of a Truth Social post from Trump highlighting the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, calling it "a country of particular concern." Minaj wrote that she felt "a deep sense of gratitude" because Americans can freely worship God.
Her comments drew criticism from fans who said her support of Trump conflicted with her LGBTQ+ advocacy.
Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God.

No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other.
Numerous countries all… pic.twitter.com/2M5sPiviQu
One wrote, "Nicki, as a die-hard fan, who genuinely sticks beside you through every scandal, you cozying up to this loser—I might actually have to tap out."
America has the dumbest citizens in the world. They are all controlled by their government.

1. I don’t think you are a Christain.
2. You are not in nigeria, so don’t base your opinions on what you know nothing about.
3. Make sure you are not bias, when you claim to stand for justice.
Am not talking because am a Muslim, but am talking because am a Proud…
Minaj responded, defending her stance, saying, "Imagine hearing that Christians are being MURDERED & making it about you being gay [...] I'll advocate for you the same way that I'm advocating for MURDERED CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA. Like I always have. Just remember that. Diligently. Compassionately. Just remember that part, too!!!!"
UN invitation highlights global attention
Minaj's comments also prompted a response from U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz, who invited her to the UN to discuss religious freedom.
She highlighted the invitation on X, calling herself "the first female rapper in history to receive an invitation to the United Nations," and encouraged her fans to celebrate the milestone.
