BREAKING: Elon Musk Vows to Give a Tesla Model to Any Detroit Lions Player Who Publicly Rejects Pride Month — He Declares It’s Time to End the “WOKE” Era…

Detroit, Michigan – June 4, 2025 — Tech billionaire Elon Musk has once again stepped into the center of a cultural firestorm, offering a Tesla Model S Plaid to any Detroit Lions player who publicly rejects Pride Month.

In a viral video posted to his social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Musk addressed what he calls the “overreach of forced corporate activism,” promising to reward any Lions player who dares to speak out.

“To any Detroit Lions player who has the courage to reject the performative nonsense of Pride Month: I’ll hand you the keys to a Tesla Model S Plaid. Enough is enough,” Musk declared. “This country needs less fear of cancel culture and more backbone.”

Detroit: The Unexpected Battleground

While Detroit isn’t typically the epicenter of national culture wars, Musk’s comments have dragged the Motor City’s beloved Lions into the hottest political conversation of the year. His call-to-action is seen by many as a direct challenge to the NFL’s participation in Pride Month, which includes rainbow logos, awareness campaigns, and LGBTQ+ support across all teams.

“Let athletes play football, not wave flags they don’t believe in. If you’re going to stand for something, make it your choice — not someone else’s demand,” Musk continued.

Internet Reacts: Firestorm Across Platforms

The reaction was swift, polarizing, and explosive.

Within hours, hashtags like #ElonVsNFL, #DetroitDefiance, and #PrideOrPlaid trended across X, Instagram, and TikTok. The post itself gained over 50 million views in less than 10 hours.

Right-wing commentators praised Musk’s statement as “the bravest move in professional sports since Kaepernick.” One conservative influencer tweeted:

“Elon Musk is doing what no coach, no owner, and no commissioner dares. He’s calling out the groupthink.”

But LGBTQ+ advocates, celebrities, and athletes pushed back hard.

“What Musk is doing is dangerous. He’s inciting players to turn their backs on love, equality, and inclusion — all in the name of ego and attention,” said actor and activist Billy Porter in a now-viral clip.

Detroit Lions: Quiet, but Uneasy

As of this writing, the Detroit Lions organization has made no official comment. However, insiders report growing tension inside the team’s headquarters, with coaches and PR staff scrambling to manage the media storm.

One anonymous staffer reportedly told a local Detroit sports outlet:

“Nobody saw this coming. We’ve got players trying to focus on training camp, and now they’re being dragged into a national culture war. It’s a mess.”

Locker Room Rumblings: Who Might Take the Tesla?

The $90,000+ Tesla Model S Plaid — complete with Full Self-Driving mode — has some speculating whether any Lions player might actually accept Musk’s challenge.

Online forums and sports blogs are buzzing with rumors about which players might be conservative-leaning or “quietly anti-woke.” One rising linebacker is already trending after a past tweet resurfaced in which he criticized “corporate pandering.”

“All it takes is one,” wrote a viral post. “One player brave enough to say no — and the whole league might start rethinking things.”
