He likes us, he really likes us.

Elon Musk is advising any folks who do not realize Miami is an awesome place to live to do so immediately.

The South African billionaire responded to a May 7 Tweet from Lone Star State follower @AshleyDCan who sent a message out to the universe asking for recommendations for her next move.

“I never really imagined living anywhere else before but I really feel like Texas doesn’t have much for me here,” posted the blue checkmarked marketing professional, adding there were a few non-negotiables involved.

Her new city must be “crypto and marijuana friendly,” have good networking opportunities with “plenty to do.”

“Probably Miami,” answered Musk underneath in the comments.

Thanks! We think.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, 51, has been in town for a bunch of events lately, namely the Formula One race last weekend, and before that the MMA Global Possible conference at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, with his toddler son X in tow. He obviously likes what he saw.

Thanks for the shout-out. Sounds like we’ll have a new resident soon. And we admit, it would make a cool icebreaker at parties on why you’re here.

Ashley reshared the post and told her followers: “Looks like I’m moving to Miami.”

Good luck finding an apartment that’s not in the nether regions of Kendall, though.

May we suggest a roommate or two? Or perhaps Elon can help you finance the relocation. Just sayin’.
