In a stunning post-American Idol twist, 2025 runner-up John Foster has just received a brand-new Tesla Cybertruck — straight from Elon Musk himself.

The surprise gift came only hours after Foster’s final performance aired, where the 22-year-old country singer from Tennessee delivered a show-stopping original that left the judges and millions of viewers in awe. But it wasn’t just the audience who was moved.
“Elon watched the finale and was incredibly impressed,” a close source confirmed. “He saw something raw, authentic, and powerful in John — and wanted to do something special.”

Foster took to social media with a video of the moment he received the futuristic truck. “I thought it was a prank at first,” he laughed, standing beside the stainless steel beast with tears in his eyes. “Then I saw the note inside — handwritten by Elon Musk. I still can’t believe it.”
But the surprises didn’t stop there. According to reports, Musk has invited John Foster to perform at a private event at his home in Austin, Texas, later this month — an event known to host tech giants, investors, and influential figures from around the world.
“John’s got something the world needs right now,” Musk reportedly said. “Honesty. Grit. And a voice that can move people.”

Foster, who grew up performing in church choirs and local fairs, says he’s still trying to wrap his head around everything. “From second place on Idol to being noticed by Elon Musk? It’s surreal. I’m just thankful — and ready to keep singing.”
Fans across the country are calling it a dream-come-true moment, proving that sometimes, even second place can lead to something far greater.
And for John Foster, the road ahead now begins behind the wheel of a Tesla Cybertruck — with the full support of one of the most powerful innovators in the world.
