In an exciting move, Elon Musk has reportedly jumped into the culinary world with the opening of a brand new auto-themed Tesla Diner in Hollywood, California. The highly anticipated diner, located on Santa Monica Boulevard amidst a neighborhood known for high-end art galleries, opened its doors unexpectedly on Monday at 4:20 PM. On its third day of operation, the place made a splash. Almost 100 Tylerites were in a long, exciting line that wrapped around the block, testament to the electric charisma of Musk’s brand.
As it turns out, Musk’s big dining experiment isn’t limited to the menu. It includes everything from fast food to high art, tantalizing a broad spectrum of wish lists. The diner is generating buzz with its unconventional food offerings. Everyone—from the neighborhood resident to the international visitor—is fascinated by its special design touches.
Unique Offerings and Design
The Tesla Diner welcomes guests with an All-American menu sure to tickle your taste buds. Among them are products wittily dubbed “own the libs” and “we are the libs.” Signature dishes such as “Epic Bacon” and avocado toast have instantly won fans. Though the prices might seem steep for average diners, they’re still a bargain for the cut-throat Los Angeles marketplace.
“Diners are kind of a reflection of the community, and it doesn’t seem to really be that,” – Jake Hook
The diner’s mod good looks are hard to resist. Wide shining chrome finishes and authentic futuristic 1950s-style white chairs and tables punctuate the spaces with dramatic flair. This unique combination generates a dramatic setting with the intention of stimulating and elevating the overall dining experience.
Community Response
The community has reacted so far with resounding positivity! Hundreds of fans have already come out to experience the new menu items and take selfies with the giant Optimus robot that’s popping corn on the roof deck. On his second trip, he took his eight-year-old daughter with him to explore deeper into the diner journey.
“I never seen [Elon Musk] open a restaurant, so I just wanted to come here and see how the food is,” – Phoenix
For all the initial excitement, some patrons were quick to express doubts on the diner’s ability to be a genuine community gathering place. As one tourist put it, ” … as photogenic and compelling as that diner is, it’s not an authentic expression of the culture that exists here.”

Future Innovations
Considering he really does own the Tesla Diner now, Musk has some pretty lofty plans for the place, teasing future developments via Twitter. He suggested that an Optimus robot will eventually begin bringing food directly to customers’ cars. We’re very much looking forward to this new, thrilling development!
“Diners don’t typically get headline news around Earth,” – Elon Musk
While the Optimus robot wasn’t active during visits this week, optimism abounds about its eventual use. We’ve even had patrons already inquiring about how they might get a hold of an eventual copy. One woman even quipped, “Can I get popcorn no matter which robot I choose?”
