Tesla CEO Elon Musk received a good business suggestion from an elementary school student, and he plans to run with the idea.

The Michigan fifth grader and Tesla fan, named Bria, wrote to Musk for a school project suggesting that his electric car company hold a competition for homemade commercials. Bria's father sent the letter to Musk via Twitter, and the Tesla boss actually liked the idea, pledging to do it.

"I am writing you because I would like to make a suggestion for your company," the student's letter begins. "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 they are entertaining."

She then suggested that Tesla run a competition to find "the best homemade Tesla commercial." The winner would have their commercial aired, she wrote, and also receive some other perks like a year of free supercharging or a special Model 3 Easter Egg.

"The cool part is that you won't be taking the time and money to advertise for yourself," she wrote. "Plus, this is something your fans and customers will definitely love."

Turns out, Musk was into the idea, and plans to run with it. "Thank you for the lovely letter," he wrote on Twitter. "That sounds like a great idea. We'll do it."

So, start getting the creative juices flowing, amateur advertising gurus.

Meanwhile, a separate elementary schooler named Chloe Bridgewater recently wrote a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai and got a response back. The British 7-year-old wrote that she'd like a job at Google when she's older. Pichai wrote back telling her to "keep working hard and following your dreams… I look forward to receiving your job applications when you are finished with school."
