🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk Declares “Boycotters of Tesla Are Unpatriotic” After Green Bay Packers Refuse to Cooperate
Silicon Valley, CA – In a shocking twist that’s sparking outrage across both tech and sports communities, Elon Musk has fired back at the Green Bay Packers, labeling them “unpatriotic” after the team allegedly refused to cooperate with Tesla on a promotional partnership.
The billionaire tech mogul, known for his unfiltered opinions, took to the X app (formerly Twitter) on Monday morning, posting:
“If you boycott Tesla, you’re boycotting American innovation. And that’s unpatriotic. Simple.”
The comment came just hours after insiders confirmed that the Packers rejected a major Tesla endorsement deal, citing “organizational values” and “conflicting corporate ethics.”
🏈 What’s the Backstory?
According to sources close to the negotiation, Tesla had proposed a multi-million-dollar branding partnership with the Packers, including:
-
Tesla charging stations at Lambeau Field
-
Co-branded merchandise
-
Electric vehicles wrapped in Packers colors for team transport
But in a closed-door decision, Packers executives turned down the offer, reportedly citing Elon Musk’s “increasingly volatile public behavior” and concerns about brand alignment.
The rejection didn’t sit well with Musk — and he wasted no time turning the snub into a national debate.
💬 “Unpatriotic”? Fans and Critics Clash
Social media instantly exploded after Musk’s post, with users fiercely divided:
🔥 “Boycotting Tesla isn’t unpatriotic — it’s a choice. Freedom of association is literally American.”
💥 “Packers standing up to Elon is the most Wisconsin thing ever.”
🇺🇸 “Tesla is an American success story. Elon is right. The Packers are out of touch.”
The hashtag #UnpatrioticPackers began trending, but so did #ElonOutOfBounds and #CheeseheadsOverCars.
📉 Musk’s Comments Stir Fallout
Within 24 hours of his post:
-
Tesla’s stock dipped by 1.9% on Wall Street
-
X saw a surge in deactivations in Wisconsin and the Midwest
