I think the musical choices are awesome. It's so much better than choices that seem like all the marketing people debated in endless meetings who it might offend and so on. The company has some personality (cult of personality, maybe, but whatever :) )

My guess? Elon.

Haha, I find the image of him doing that, and no one daring to try change his mind, hilarious for some reason. I can see it escalating:

"So for our next video let's set up smoke machines on the road here, and then we'll have a camera team in front capturing it coming out of the smoke in slow-motion with "Smoke On the Water" as soundtrack. It's going to be amazeballs!"

"Umm, ok Elon..."

"Put in a lion roar as well"

"I quit."

Elon would have picked Amish Paradise.

It feels like they edited the video and then picked a song that exactly matched the video's length.

Like "The Wizard of Oz" and "The Dark Side of the Moon"?

It's related to Westworld, as I mention in another comment here[1].
