The “Hawk Tuah” girl has said that she loves Elon Musk after he reportedly slid into her DMs.
The girl, whose real name is Hailey Welch, went viral earlier this year when she was asked what move makes a man go crazy in the bedroom.
No one was expecting what her reply would be, as she said: “You gotta' give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thing.”
