Elon Musk is anticipated to host 'literally the biggest party on Earth'.
In Shanghai, the largest production site for Musk's vehicle manufacturing company was closed to adhere with coronavirus regulations. Upon its reopening in 2020, Musk was seen cutting some shapes in celebration.
On 22 March, 2022 the SpaceX founder opened the Giga Berlin in similar fashion - which was miraculously caught on camera - and the spectacle of Musk dusting off his dancing shoes is set to happen yet again.
The world's current richest man has claimed to be throwing what could possibly turn out to be the 'biggest party on Earth' on 7 April at Tesla's fourth car manufacturing plant - the Austin Gigafactory - in Texas.
While around 15,000 people are expected to receive invitations - with cards reported as having been sent out already - don't get your hopes up.

A group of cybersecurity experts called Praetorian tweeted Musk to ask for 'at least a couple of tickets to [the] giga opening,' noting that they are located in Austin 'and working to make the world safe and more secure'.
Musk didn't answer their request, but instead responded: "This might be gearing up to be literally the biggest party on Earth."
According to a Travis County Commissioners Court Voting Session Agenda Request, the 'mass gathering' is set to take place between 4:00pm and 11:29pm at 13101 Tesla Drive, Austin, TX 78725.
"The event gathering will encompass interactive tours accompanied by food and various live entertainment to celebrate the newly built and operational Giga factory," the request reads.
As per The Street, because Tesla don't spend money on advertising, the 'Cyber Rodeo' will act as a marketing event similar to previous ones held in both Shanghai and Berlin - which also saw Musk bust out some of his best moves.
Musk's announcement of the event on Twitter has amassed over 100,000 likes and thousands of comments. Fans of the business magnate have since flooded to the platform in the hopes of bagging themselves a ticket. One said: "I will bring the dogecoins."
Another suggested that the Tesla CEO could go even further to guarantee the party is definitely the 'biggest on Earth'. "Hey @elonmusk can you put the #CyberRodeo party in the Metaverse so every $tsla shareholder and @tesla owner worldwide can go? This will make it absolutely the biggest party on Earth," they said.
A third commented: "Next time have a Tesla party at a stadium or something with room for 50 thousand people so we can all get tickets @elonmusk."
The agenda request noted the 'applicant/ promoter' had 'submitted the preliminary permit application and applicable backup documentation'.
It also explained that the applicant had been 'coordinating with individual departments for several weeks to address department-specific requirements according to county guidelines'.
"Staff recommend approval of this item," it noted.
So while it's unlikely anyone you know will be invited, the world's 'biggest party' does look like it will actually go ahead.
