Boston, MA – In yet another jaw-dropping chapter of Elon Musk’s ongoing quest to beef with anyone, anywhere, anytime — the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX has now set his sights on Fenway Park.
It all began after Red Sox manager Alex Cora, speaking candidly with reporters following a frustrating loss to the Orioles, was asked about potential sponsorship opportunities tied to tech companies. In a moment that probably didn’t seem like a nuclear trigger at the time, Cora chuckled and said:
“Get rid of Tesla. The Red Sox will never advertise for Elon Musk.”
That was enough.
Within hours, Musk lit up his platform X (formerly Twitter) with a rapid-fire barrage of fury, kicking off with:
“I’ll just buy the Red Sox and fire Cora myself. Boom. Problem solved.”
“Never advertise Tesla? Buddy, your team still sells Sam Adams and sadness. I’m the future. You’re managing a team like it’s 1923.”
“I’ll install a launch pad in center field before I let Alex Cora make another lineup card.”
Social Media ERUPTS
Within minutes, Twitter/X was an inferno. Hashtags like #MuskVsCora, #RedSoxX, and #ElonFenwayTakeover skyrocketed to the top of trending charts. Baseball fans, tech nerds, and chaos connoisseurs alike dove into the madness.
One user wrote:
“Elon buying the Sox just to fire Cora would be the pettiest billionaire move of all time. And I’m here for it.”
Another added:
“Musk owning the Red Sox would somehow be worse than the Curse of the Bambino.”
Even Yankees fans joined the pile-on:
“Let him do it. Elon will burn the team down faster than Babe Ruth’s trade did.”
Could He Actually Pull It Off?
While Musk’s threats to buy everything from social media platforms to entire food and beverage companies are nothing new (we haven’t forgotten the Coca-Cola tweet…), buying the Boston Red Sox is no simple task. The franchise is currently owned by the Fenway Sports Group and valued at approximately $5.2 billion.
But with Musk’s net worth hovering around $220 billion, it’s not financially impossible — and MLB, as always, tends to pay attention when money talks, even if the mouth behind it is tweeting in all caps.
Still, a league source told reporters anonymously:
“MLB doesn’t take kindly to impulsive ownership bids, especially ones fueled by social media tantrums. This isn’t Dogecoin.”
Silence from Cora… For Now
Alex Cora has not responded publicly to Musk’s outburst — but insiders claim he was “stunned” by the blow-up, especially given the offhand nature of his comment. Some players reportedly found the entire situation hilarious, while others are “concerned that this circus is about to get very real.”
One clubhouse source put it bluntly:
“Only in 2025 does our manager throw shade at Tesla and suddenly Elon Musk might own the team.”
What Now?
Whether Musk actually follows through or this becomes another headline in his ever-expanding chaos résumé remains to be seen. But one thing is certain:
Alex Cora’s job security just got a lot weirder — and the Boston Red Sox may have just been dragged into the most bizarre tech-sports feud of the decade.
