In a bizarre turn of events that left sports fans and tech enthusiasts equally stunned, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk reportedly attempted to join the Philadelphia Eagles as a player. However, after a less-than-stellar performance at a secret tryout, the team’s head coach firmly rejected him and went so far as to ban him from Eagles facilities indefinitely.
The unexpected saga quickly became the talk of the sports world, with fans debating whether Musk was serious about his attempt or simply playing an elaborate joke. The Eagles’ coach, however, made it clear that this was no laughing matter.
Elon Musk’s “Grand Plan” to Join the NFL
According to sources close to the situation, Musk—best known for revolutionizing electric cars, launching rockets, and occasionally tanking his own stock value with reckless tweets—set his sights on the NFL as his next major conquest.
“Football is just physics and strategy,” Musk allegedly told Eagles executives. “And I have mastered both.”
Musk, known for his unwavering confidence (some might call it delusion), insisted on a private tryout with the team. Despite initial skepticism, Eagles management allowed him to participate, likely out of sheer curiosity—or perhaps in hopes of a massive Tesla sponsorship deal.
The Tryout Disaster
Eyewitnesses at the tryout described it as a spectacle unlike anything the Eagles have ever seen.
- Musk arrived in a prototype Tesla Cybertruck, claiming it was his version of a “team bus.”
- Instead of cleats, he wore SpaceX-designed “gravity-optimized” boots, which caused him to trip multiple times.
- When asked to run the 40-yard dash, Musk refused, stating that “true innovation isn’t about running, it’s about thinking faster than the competition.”
- Attempting to throw a football, Musk launched it straight into orbit (some say it still hasn’t landed).
After two hours of absolute chaos, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni called an abrupt end to the session.
“We appreciate Elon’s enthusiasm, but this team is focused on winning football games, not launching satellites,” Sirianni later told reporters.
Banned from the Eagles—Indefinitely
Following the failed tryout, Musk reportedly stormed into the Eagles’ locker room and declared, “I will buy the NFL and make my own league!” The coach, unimpressed, ordered security to escort him out, officially banning Musk from any Eagles-related activities.
In a press conference the next day, Sirianni addressed the situation, assuring fans:
“I will not let Eagles fans down by allowing distractions. Our focus is on winning. Not on Mars, not on Twitter, not on questionable business decisions—just football.”
Fans took to social media to praise the coach for putting the team first and ensuring that the Eagles remain “Musk-free.”

Musk’s Response: “I Will Build My Own Team!”
Of course, Musk did not take the rejection well. Within hours, he was on X (formerly Twitter) posting cryptic messages about his next move.
“The NFL is outdated. Time for a true revolution. AI quarterbacks. Cyber-enhanced linebackers. Neuralink play-calling. Who’s in?”
Rumors quickly spread that Musk was in talks to create his own football league, possibly called the XFL 2.0 (but Better) or The Galactic Gridiron League. While some dismissed the idea as another one of Musk’s impulsive rants, others weren’t so sure. After all, this is the same man who made flamethrowers for fun.
Philadelphia Eagles Fans React
Eagles fans had mixed reactions to the Musk saga:
- “Thank God Sirianni shut this down. We’re here to win, not build rocket ships.”
- “Elon Musk running a football team? At least we’d never have to punt—he’d just launch the ball into the stratosphere.”
- “Can we still get a Tesla Supercharger station outside the stadium, though?”
Some fans, however, jokingly suggested giving Musk another chance—but only if he agrees to play as a tackling dummy.
What’s Next?
As of now, Elon Musk remains banned from the Philadelphia Eagles, but that hasn’t stopped speculation about his future in football.
Will he buy an NFL team out of spite?
Will he attempt to create a robot football league?
Or will he simply move on to another absurd challenge, like building the first stadium on Mars?
Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the Philadelphia Eagles made the right call.
