Elon Musk responds to man who made realistic Halo themed Cybertruck
Elon Musk has responded to a man who made a realistic Halo themed Cybertruck.
One Tesla fan has combined his love of the electric vehicles with a love of video games.
The man in question transformed his Cybertruck into a car from the military sci-fi game Halo.
The motor is known as a warthog in the game, which is a fictional armored fighting vehicle.

In the pics uploaded online, Master Chief can be seen stood at the back of the vehicle, who is the main character of the game.
Taking to a Cybertruck owners forum, the man known as Ken, shared photos of his handiwork.
In the caption, Ken posted: “WWI Liberty Memorial Car Show and Master Chief from Halo has arrived to show his respects!”
The Tesla enthusiast went on to add: “My son lasted about 45 minutes in that costume before he had to get out as the heat was getting to him inside that black PVC jumpsuit and armor.
“Lots of pictures were taken in that amount of time by hundreds of spectators. He was a real trooper to do that for me!
“Many thanks to SSCustoms for the wrap (custom version) and to Detail Auto for the install.”
The photos caused a stir on social media, with some of the pics appearing on other platforms including Musk’s X, formerly Twitter.
Uploading the post, one user wrote: “This guy is winning at Halloween this year. Epic.”
This caught the attention of the tech mogul himself, prompting Musk to share the images and responding with, ‘Awesome’ followed by a sunglasses emoji.
A lot of people also took to social media to share their own reactions to the cosplay.
On the forum, one user put: “As an old Halo player, that’s beyond awesome!”
While over on X, another person said: “That is gotta be the best master chief costume I’ve ever seen. The warthog is even crazier.”
A third wrote: “My guy isn’t trick or treating. He’s DEMANDING the candy.”
And a fourth user added: “My man is winning life this year.”
After Musk’s recent ‘We, Robot’ event where he unveiled the new Tesla Cybercab, it was revealed that the billionaire is being sued by the production company behind Blade Runner 2049.
In the complaint, the Alcon Entertainment accuses Musk and Tesla of misappropriating the film’s brand to promote the Cybercab.
The firm is seeking damages and is also asking for a court order to bar Tesla from any further distribution of the promotional materials.
