Girl, 10, writes letter to Tesla founder Elon Musk for his help with a school project… and gets BRILLIANT response
Schoolgirl has a cunning plan that could save the Tesla founder some cash
ELON Musk has promised to help out a ten-year-old girl with her school project after she sent him a letter suggesting how he could save some cash.
Schoolgirl Bria, ten, asked her dad to post the letter on Twitter so that the Tesla founder could see it.
Dad Steven Loveday tweeted to ask the billionaire if he could help her out with her "school project" just in case he hadn't spotted her letter.
In the typed note, Bria suggested that Musk ran a competition for homemade adverts to promote the luxury electric car brand.
She wrote: "So I think that you should run a competition on who can make the best homemade Tesla commercial and the winners will get their commercial aired.
"The cool part is that you still won't be taking the time and money to advertise for yourself.
"Plus, this is something your fans and customers will definitely love.
"You could give the winners a year of free Supercharging or a Model 3 Easter Egg or something."
After spotting the tweet, billionaire Musk pledge his support for the school project.

Dear Elon Musk, I'm Bria from Ms. Esparza's 5th grade class.
I'm writing you because I would like to make a suggestion for your company.
Also I think your idea is very smart and friendly to the environment! I have noticed that you do not advertise, but many people made homemade commercials for Tesla and some of them are very good, they look professional and they are entertaining.
So I think that you should run a competition on who can make the best homemade Tesla commercial and the winners will get their commercial aired.
The cool part is that you still won't be taking the time and money to advertise for yourself. Plus, this is something your fans and customers will definitely love. You could give the winners a year of free Supercharging or a Model 3 Easter Egg or something.
My dad is an auto writer for InsideEVs.com and US News and World report. He has shown me all about Tesla and solar energy and everything.
We watched a bunch of the awesome fan-made commercials and we even went and sat in the Model X at Somerset Mall in Troy, Michigan. Also, your idea for these Tesla cars is the best thing I've ever seen. I hope that when I'm older I can drive a Tesla. It's so sad that they cannot be sold in Michigan. It's such a hassle to have to drive to a different state to get a car!
I plan to be a politician when I grow up, and I will make sure that the government protects the environment, and Teslas can be bought anywhere.
My dad is going to send you this letter on Twitter too, so it will be easier for you to respond. Hopefully, I will hear back from you so I can share it with my teacher and my class.
Thank you in advance!
Your "Green" Fan,
Bria
Parents are increasingly encouraging their tots to pick up a pen and paper after a raft of great responses from tech company CEOs to young fans.
Earlier this month Chloe Bridgewater, seven, found fame after her rejection letter from Google went viral.
In an application addressed to the "Google boss", the seven-year-old detailed all her credentials, including that she is "very good in class and am good at my spelling and reading and my sums".
She added: "My dad told me to give you a application [sic] to get a job in Google.
"I don't really know what one of them is but he said a letter will do for now."
Chloe submitted the application through the Google careers page and eagerly awaited a response.
Just days later she received a letter from the company's CEO, Sundar Pichai.
He told the Hereford schoolgirl: "I think if you keep working hard and following your dreams, you can accomplish you set your mind to."

"I look forward to receiving your job application when you are finished with school! :)"
Proud dad Andy Bridgewater shared the letter on Linkedin and it has since gone viral.
Mr Bridgewater explained that the girl had been in a car accident a couple of years ago and that the letter was a huge boost to her confidence.
"She is now even more eager to do well at school and work for Google," wrote Mr Bridgewater in the post.
"Can't thank such a busy person enough to take time out to make a little girl's dream become one step closer, although not sure she's fully aware that it'll take more than riding go karts and sleeping in pods to make it with Google!"
