Elon Musk, an active Twitter user, has been Tesla's mouthpiece to the public, informing them about the electric car maker's upcoming products and plans.

On Wednesday, in response to a letter by a fifth grade Michigan student, the founder and chief executive of Tesla made another announcement on the social media platform - the company will hold a contest for homemade advertisements.

Bria, daughter of Twitter user Steven, suggested that Musk should run a competition to find the best homemade commercial for Tesla, which has been averse to commercials.

Michigan fifth grader Bria asked Musk to run a competition to find the best homemade commercial for Tesla's electric cars.

Bria, who said she hopes to be a politician, wrote in the letter that Tesla cars were the 'best thing' she had ever seen and that she hoped to drive a Tesla car in the future.

'Thank you for the lovely letter. That sounds like a great idea. We'll do it!' Musk responded to the letter in a tweet.

Bria, who said she aspires to be a politician, wrote in the letter that Tesla cars were the 'best thing' she had ever seen and that she hoped to drive a Tesla car in the future.

'I have noticed that you do not advertise but many people make homemade commercials for Tesla, and some of them are very good, they look professional and are entertaining.

'So I think that you should run a competition on who can make the best homemade Tesla commercial and the winners will get their commercial aired.

'You could give the winners a year of free Supercharging or a Model 3 Easter Egg or something,' Bria suggested in the letter, which was written for a school project.

'The cool part is that you still won't be taking the time and money to advertise for yourself,' she wrote, adding 'it would be so cool if you could hook me up with a Tesla t-shirt.'

She also expressed her disappointment over Tesla cars not being sold in Michigan.

Bria's father, Steven, who shared the letter, is a journalist and a professor at Art Institute of Michigan.

'She actually wrote it,' he explained in another tweet.

'She loves writing. I help her edit her stuff, but she's gotten better, and she reads a ton.'

He also confirmed Tesla had said it would send

Bria asked Musk for a Tesla t-shirt for suggesting the idea, and said she hopes to be a politician when she is older.

In an article today he added 'as busy as Elon Musk is, especially these days, and his communications team, it’s amazing to see how quickly they fielded a letter from a child.

'It truly shows what an upstanding company Tesla is, and the commitment of Musk and the people that work for him.

'Thank you Elon!'

'Thank you for the lovely letter. That sounds like a great idea. We'll do it!' Musk responded to the letter in a tweet.

It comes after Musk, in an email to employees, outlined a range of ideas to boost 'fun' at his factory - including a 'Tesla electric pod car roller coaster' that could take workers around the factory.

'As we get closer to being a profitable company, we will be able to afford more and more fun things,' he said in an email that was leaked on February 24 to energy site Electrek.

'For example, as I mentioned at the last company talk, we are going to hold a really amazing party once Model 3 reaches volume production later this year.

'There will also be little things that come along like free frozen yogurt stands scattered around the factory and my personal favourite: a Tesla electric pod car roller coaster (with an optional loop the loop route, of course!) that will allow fast and fun travel throughout our Fremont campus, dipping in and out of the factory and connecting all the parking lots.

Bria's father Steven, who shared the letter, is a journalist and a professor at Art Institute of Michigan, as well as writing for several electric car blogs.

'It’s going to get crazy good.'

Musk also revealed that employees can earn up to £80,450 ($100,000) by taking out discounted shares in the company.

He said his goal was to make his factories as 'safe, fair and fun as possible'.
