Very silly would be an inflatable "Trojan Horse".
I suggest a scale model of New Glenn so Musk can tweet "SpaceX achieves first orbit of New Glenn rocket!" No?

Other frivolous but space related suggestions playing to Musk's interests and sense of whimsey include launching Robby The Robot, or an Alien mockup.

You mean the "SpaceX Flightsuit Prototype."
Not to re-open a can of worms, but does anybody know WHEN they might announce what the demo "payload" is? Or will it remain "under wraps" until after the flight like the cheese?
