Cybertruck Diapers For Real? Musk Says 'Definitely Need To Add This' To Tesla Merch

Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday laughed about adding Cybertruck-inspired angular diapers to the company’s merchandise, even as fans eagerly anticipate the launch of the electric pickup truck.

What Happened: “We definitely need to add this to our merch collection,” Musk wrote on X, formerly Twitter, with a laughing emoticon. The CEO was responding to an X user who made a meme of Tesla diapers in response to Musk’s recent posts on a possible population crisis.

“Having children is saving the world,” Musk wrote on Monday.

“Having children is saving the world. Having babies and using these diapers saves the galaxy!” the user captioned the meme.

Why It Matters: This is not the first time the CEO has warned of a population crisis. Musk has said in the past that population control due to low birth rates is a "much bigger risk" to civilization than global warming. The CEO  has reportedly even made donations towards fertility studies.

But whether Musk indeed meant adding diapers to Tesla merchandise will remain to be seen. Musk’s companies including Tesla, SpaceX, and The Boring Company have previously made and sold peculiar products including but not limited to its own tequila in a bottle shaped like a lightning bolt, a culinary torch modeled after SpaceX’s Starship and even a perfume that smells like burnt hair.

Besides the normal Cybertruck-themed goods like t-shirts, socks, beanies, trucker hats, and hoodies, the Tesla shop also has a wireless charging platform priced at about $300, and the 1000 DOGE limited-edition Cyberwhistle. The Cyberwhistle, made of stainless steel, was introduced in November 2021 as a premium collectible and is currently marked as out of stock.
