It appears Elon Musk isn't the only person who has been able to get their hands on Tesla's new Cybertruck before the electric vehicle is even released to the public.
Tesla doesn't plan to launch the all-electric Cybertruck until 2021, but the electric truck made a cameo appearance in a new music video from rapper Travis Scott. The video is for Scott's new song "Gang Gang," released Dec. 27 on the rapper's new album, "JackBoys."
Yet the Cybertruck, which Tesla unveiled in November, isn't the only product from a Elon Musk-founded company that appears in Scott's music video. The video also features Tesla's electric Cyberquad ATV being driven around, and a limited-edition "Not A Flamethrower" sold last year through Musk's The Boring Company being used.
It's not exactly clear how Scott got his hands on the not-yet-released Cybertruck, and Tesla did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment. The Cybertruck has only been spotted once in public since it was unveiled, and it was driven by Musk himself in Los Angeles in early December. The Cyberquad all-electric ATV made an appearance at the Cybertruck's launch event, but no further details about the ATV (such as its release date and price) have been released.
Meanwhile, The Boring Company's "Not-A-Flamethrower" was released in limited quantity in 2018 to consumers. Musk has admitted that selling the $500 fire toys to the public was a "terrible idea," but that didn't stop 20,000 units from being sold and listed for thousands on resell sites.
Not much is known about how Scott and Musk know each other, or the circumstances that would allow for the rapper to gain access to the Cybertruck and Cyberquad. However, both Musk and Scott appeared in a photo Kim Kardashian posted on Instagram the day after the "Gang Gang" music video dropped. In the Instagram post captioned "Christmas Eve," Kardashian poses for a picture that includes Musk, Scott, Musk's reported girlfriend Grimes, Kanye West, and rapper Quavo.
It's worth nothing that Scott dated Kardashian's sister, Kylie, for two years, and that the pair have a daughter, Stormi Webster. Scott and Kylie Kardashian reportedly split in October.
