In a move that has left Texas tech fans stunned and Cowboys Nation fuming, Elon Musk has reportedly banned sales of the new Tesla Pi Phone to all Dallas-area residents — and it all stems from an unlikely turf war with none other than Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
The dispute? Advertising rights at AT&T Stadium.
🏟️ The Breakdown: Tesla Ads Rejected at “Jerry World”
According to sources close to both camps, Elon Musk had offered a multi-million dollar deal to place Tesla branding throughout AT&T Stadium — including naming rights to several digital panels and a “Tesla Tunnel Experience” beneath the stadium seating.
However, Jerry Jones reportedly declined, citing the Cowboys’ “exclusive partnership priorities” and concerns over Musk’s “increasingly unpredictable image.”
“We’re not turning the world’s most iconic stadium into a sci-fi billboard,” said a Cowboys executive. “Jerry likes trucks. Not tweets.”
🤖 Musk’s Response? Ban Dallas.
Within 24 hours, Musk posted on X (formerly Twitter):
“If Dallas doesn’t want Tesla in their stadium, they don’t get the Tesla Pi. Enjoy your outdated phones. #NoPiForYou #JerryBlockedIt”
That tweet alone sparked more than 5 million views in an hour — and an all-out social media war between Tesla fans and furious Cowboys supporters.
📱 What’s the Tesla Pi Phone?
For those living under a non-solar-powered rock, the Tesla Pi Phone is Musk’s long-hyped flagship smartphone, boasting:
-
Solar charging
-
Neuralink-integrated gesture control
-
Built-in access to Starlink internet
-
A custom Dogecoin wallet
-
And a rumored “Mars Mode” that no one quite understands
Pre-orders have already topped 2 million units… but now, Dallas ZIP codes have been geo-blocked from the Tesla website.
💥 Texans React: “He’s Messing With the Wrong State”
Cowboys fans across Texas did not take the news lightly.
-
“I’ll throw my Tesla in the lake if this is true.”
-
“I didn’t need your phone anyway, bro. I got an iPhone and a Ford F-150.”
-
“You cross Jerry, you cross Texas.”
Some diehard fans even launched a new campaign: #PhonesForFans, urging Samsung and Apple to offer trade-in bonuses to “those betrayed by Musk.”
😬 Inside the Cowboys Front Office
According to league insiders, Jerry Jones has no plans to back down.
“The Dallas Cowboys don’t answer to billionaires,” said a spokesperson. “We print money with nachos and Dak jerseys.”
In fact, Jones is reportedly in talks with Ford, Motorola, and even Nokia (yes, that Nokia) about placing retro flip phones in luxury suites “just to troll Elon.”
🛰️ Musk Isn’t Done Yet
Never one to leave drama on the table, Musk has hinted at escalating the feud:
“You’ll see what a stadium looks like when it runs on Starlink. Just wait. Arlington Dome coming soon.”
Speculation is growing that Musk might build a “Tesla Sports Arena” in Austin, complete with AI cheerleaders, robot concession stands, and a team of football-playing humanoids powered by x ai.
🚨 What’s Next?
With Cowboys season just months away and the Tesla Pi launch expected globally in June, fans — and investors — are watching this story unfold like it’s a reality show.
Can the world’s richest man outmaneuver the NFL’s boldest owner?
One thing’s certain: Texas heat just got a lot hotter.
