Ferrari Appoints Elon Musk as Chief Strategist to ‘Make Ferrari Great Again’

In what is arguably the most unexpected move in the automotive world this year, Ferrari has announced the appointment of tech billionaire Elon Musk as its new Chief Strategist. The Italian supercar brand, known for its rich racing heritage and meticulous engineering, is bringing Musk on board to, in his own words, “Make Ferrari Great Again.” 

A Shock Move That No One Saw Coming 

The surprise announcement was made early this morning from Ferrari’s headquarters in Maranello. According to insiders, the company aims to combine Musk’s innovative approach with Ferrari’s decades of racing pedigree to create the most advanced and disruptive supercars the world has ever seen. 

“I’ve always admired Ferrari’s passion and speed. Now, we’re going to take it to the moon—literally,” Musk said in a statement, casually hinting at a Ferrari with a SpaceX-inspired rocket booster. 

What’s Next for Ferrari Under Musk? 

Among the radical ideas Musk is reportedly pushing: 

- Ferrari CyberCavallino– A limited-edition electric hypercar inspired by the Tesla Cybertruck but “less ugly” and “faster than anything you’ve ever seen.” 

- FSD Mode for the Autodromo – A Ferrari-exclusive Full Self-Drive mode that will “teach” drivers how to handle their cars on a racetrack but shut off the moment they try to use it in traffic.

- Starlink Connectivity– Because even at 420 kmph, Ferrari drivers should have flawless WiFi for their X (formerly Twitter) Spaces.

- A Gigafactory in Maranello? – Rumours suggest Musk wants to revolutionise Ferrari’s factory production line, but a senior Ferrari engineer was overheard muttering, “If he calls it a GigaFactory one more time, I’m quitting.” 

Formula 1 and the ‘No Pit Stops’ Plan 

Ferrari’s F1 team has also been thrown into the mix, with Musk allegedly proposing a no-pit-stop race strategy where cars recharge via wireless energy transfer while in motion. “Stopping is for the weak,” Musk reportedly told team engineers. When asked if his involvement in Ferrari could lead to a Tesla-Ferrari collaboration, Musk simply smirked and said, “Maybe, but only if we call it LaMuskarossa.” 

Ferrari’s Official Response 

Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna, with an expression somewhere between excitement and sheer terror, reassured fans: “Ferrari will always stay true to its heritage, but with Elon’s input, we expect… let’s just say interesting times ahead.” 

As news spread, Ferrari purists flooded social media with reactions ranging from excitement to absolute horror. Meanwhile, Tesla stock mysteriously jumped 10 per cent before immediately plummeting once people realised the date.
