I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'musk's company drones possibly gathering to pursue current prey in africa' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'musk's company drones possibly gathering to pursue current' is the wordplay.
'musk's company' becomes 'x' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'drones possibly' becomes 'bees' (drone is a kind of bee).
'gathering' means one lot of letters goes inside another (gather can mean to acquire or bring in).
'to pursue' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'current' becomes 'I' (symbol for electric current).
'x' going into 'bees' is 'bexes'.
'bexes' put after 'i' is 'IBEXES'.
