Tensions Ignite Between Big Tech and the NFL as Musk Sparks National Debate

“Boycotters of Tesla are unpatriotic. You’re either with innovation—or you’re holding the country back.”
The statement came shortly after breaking news revealed that the Baltimore Ravens refused to cooperate with Tesla on a potential partnership deal, reportedly citing concerns over image alignment and “brand integrity.”
