Elon Musk knows he and Taylor Swift could have a mutually beneficial partnership, if she'll let it happen.
The billionaire owner of X asked Swift to post her music on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter on Wednesday.
"I recommend posting some music or concert videos directly on the X platform," Musk said in an X post to Swift.
Musk was replying to the singer's September 20 post on X, where she announced the back covers and track list for her upcoming album, 1989 (Taylor's Version).
The album is a re-recording of Swift's 2014 fifth album.
It is also the fourth in her "Taylor's Version" series, Fearless, Red, and Speak Now.
Swift has been promoting the album on social media, and has also partnered with Google to create a series of puzzles for her fans to solve.
Solving the puzzles will lead to the reveal of the previously unreleased tracks for 1989, which will be included in the new album.
However, the project suffered some technical difficulties within hours of launching.
This isn't the first time Musk has tried to use celebrities to promote X.
Previously, he managed to bring on political figures such as Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Florida governor Ron DeSantis.
Musk has also promoted former Fox News host Tucker Carlson's show on X.
