Kimbal Musk, entrepreneur and younger brother of Elon Musk, met with Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri over the weekend to propose a drone-based musical light show for the Catholic Church’s 2025 Jubilee, according to Italian media.

Donning his signature cowboy hat, Musk discussed the concept at the Palazzo Senatorio on January 25, aiming to create a privately sponsored event featuring drones choreographed to music.

The previous day, he had met with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at Palazzo Chigi, accompanied by Andrea Stroppa, Elon Musk’s representative in Italy, and Veronica Berti, the wife of tenor Andrea Bocelli.

Musk is also expected to pitch the idea for the musical drone show to Archbishop Rino Fisichella, the Vatican’s chief organiser of the jubilee, according to the Italian newspaper La Stampa.
