GAZA CITY – In what experts are calling “the most Elon Musk thing ever”, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has announced full support for Trump’s Gaza redevelopment plan, promising to revolutionize local transportation with a fleet of self-driving, electric camel taxis by 2026.
The announcement came shortly after Trump released an AI-generated vision of “Trump Gaza”, featuring gold-plated hotels, golf courses, and an unsettling number of statues of himself. Musk, known for injecting himself into global crises with wildly ambitious yet legally dubious solutions, immediately took to X (formerly Twitter, formerly useful) to unveil his vision:
“Proud to support Trump’s plan. Tesla Camel Taxis (CyberCamels) will provide fully autonomous, eco-friendly transport across new Gaza. No steering, no saddle, just Neuralink control. Coming 2026 (probably).”
Camel Taxis: Innovation or Malfunction Waiting to Happen?
According to early concept sketches leaked from Tesla HQ, the “CyberCamel” would feature:
- Zero emissions, all confusion
- Autopilot mode (works 70% of the time, 100% of the time)
- Falcon Wing Saddles™ for “seamless rider entry”
- Optional “X Premium” subscription for camel horns that work
However, skeptics aren’t convinced. Industry insiders doubt the feasibility of training AI to navigate Gaza’s terrain using camel-based transportation, with one source noting:
“We haven’t even figured out Full Self-Driving for Teslas, and now we’re throwing AI onto camels? This is either genius or the dumbest thing to ever happen to the Middle East.”
Trump and Musk Discuss “Next-Level” Ideas
Trump himself responded enthusiastically to Musk’s involvement, calling it:
“One of the most tremendous, most beautiful ideas I’ve ever heard. A little like my idea, but Elon—he does the technology thing. We’re talking self-driving, solar-powered, probably the best camels ever bred. Tremendous camels. Incredible. And they will be FAST, believe me.”
Sources say the two have already discussed expanding CyberCamel technology, with Trump allegedly pushing for a “Trump Express” camel monorail, while Musk insisted on calling it “HyperCamel” and accidentally suggesting a tunnel system under the Gaza Strip, which led to a five-alarm diplomatic crisis.
Reality Check: Will This Ever Happen?
Tesla engineers, speaking on condition of anonymity, expressed concern that this was another one of Musk’s “big ideas” that would ultimately lead nowhere, much like the Cybertruck release timeline, Twitter monetization, and Musk’s hairline before 2005.
Despite skepticism, Musk remained undeterred, posting on X:
“Haters will say CyberCamel isn’t possible. Just like they said about reusable rockets, electric cars, and buying Twitter. Watch.”
Meanwhile, Trump concluded his latest rally by promising, “We’re gonna have the most tremendous camels, folks. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll ride one myself. That’d be something, wouldn’t it?”
