A recent graduate of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, has caught public attention after expressing his desire to work with American billionaire Elon Musk. The young man, Abdulrahmon Solahudeen, who studied computer science, took a bold step by updating his curriculum vitae (CV) and forwarding it directly to Musk on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
Abdulrahmon tagged Elon Musk in his post, hoping to secure an opportunity to join SpaceX, the space exploration company owned by Musk. He wrote:
"Hey @elonmusk. I’m out of Varsity. Now a certified computer engineer from the great @lautechofficial. It won’t be a bad idea to join the @SpaceX team as a computer engineer."
The enthusiastic graduate described himself in his CV as a computer engineer with strong academic qualifications and four years of professional experience in front-end engineering. He expressed a passion for technology, innovation, and developing future-focused solutions. Abdulrahmon highlighted his proficiency in creating interactive and user-friendly applications using modern frameworks like React and Typescript, showcasing a creative approach to problem-solving and a commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements.
His initiative quickly garnered reactions from other users on X. While some wished him luck in his job search, others humorously commented on the informal nature of his approach.
One user, @AshandyTemi, encouraged him by saying, "Good luck bro, even if it's not Elon Musk, maybe a Fortune 500 company." Another user, @pkay_7_, jokingly remarked, "Person weh go employ you, you dey call am hey."
Abdulrahmon's bold move highlights the determination and aspirations of many young Nigerian graduates seeking to make their mark on the global stage. Whether his direct approach to Elon Musk will yield a positive response remains to be seen, but it certainly reflects a new wave of job-hunting strategies among tech-savvy youths.
