Tesla CEO Elon Musk hired electronic music legend Sven Väth for a DJ set at the opening of the Tesla Gigafactory in Berlin.
Väth’s set went down at the end of February east of Berlin in Grünheide, where the factory was built. During his performance, crowds were shown new Tesla models through a neon-lit tunnel. His DJ set follows a huge rave Musk organized at the site ahead of the factory’s aptly named Giga-Fest opening in October.
“Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending some time with Elon Musk again,” Väth wrote in an Instagram post. “I played some techno beats for his opening of the really gigantic GIGAFACTORY!!!”
Väth and Musk are longtime friends. The pair were spotted together in 2020 after German DJ Musk presented the Axel Springer Prize, which is given to people who are “particularly innovative, creating new markets and transforming markets, shaping culture and taking on their social responsibility”. That year, Väth also remixed Musk’s electronic track Don’t Doubt Your Vibe.

“I think he’s one of the great visionaries of our time,” Väth said of Musk at the time. “He makes a difference for all of us on this planet. But he doesn’t stop there. He goes beyond that.”
