In his latest episode of “Things No One Asked Elon Musk To Say”, the billionaire tech mogul — who already dominates space, social media, electric vehicles, and random meme stocks — has now aimed his flamethrower at America’s pastime.

Speaking during a livestream Q&A for his upcoming “Neuralink Sports Vision” goggles, Musk casually dropped a bomb on the baseball world when asked what his favorite MLB team was:

“I don’t really watch baseball, but if I had the power, I’d probably retire the Atlanta Braves. Just because.”

The internet — and Atlanta — immediately lost its collective mind.

⚾️ Wait… Did Elon Just Cancel a Whole Baseball Team?

Although Musk doesn’t own any part of Major League Baseball (yet), the comment caused immediate panic among Braves fans, confusion among league officials, and a barrage of memes online.

Within 30 minutes of the clip going viral, #SaveTheBraves trended on X (formerly Twitter), and thousands of users tagged MLB’s official account demanding they issue a statement.

Braves fans took it personally.

“He can launch rockets into orbit, but he’s not launching us out of this league,” said one die-hard supporter dressed as a human tomahawk.

🧠 Musk’s Reasoning: None

As expected, when pressed further, Musk offered no clear reason for targeting the Braves — other than sheer whimsy and “emotional calculus,” as he called it.

“They won enough in the ‘90s. Plus, the algorithm said their name doesn’t test well in Martian markets.”

He then launched into a tangent about baseball being “low-bandwidth sports data,” before suggesting MLB should be replaced by an AI-powered wiffle ball league.

🧨 MLB Responds with Confused Diplomacy

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, caught off guard at a press conference, responded:

“We… appreciate Mr. Musk’s enthusiasm for baseball. The Braves are a cornerstone franchise and are absolutely not being retired. Not unless he buys us. Which he… hasn’t. Yet.”

Multiple sources claim MLB execs met in private to develop a plan in case Musk actually tries to buy a team just to delete it.

🧢 Braves Players Clap Back

Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. posted a cryptic image of a Tesla with a baseball bat through the windshield and the caption:

“Retire this.”

Meanwhile, pitcher Spencer Strider jokingly offered to throw “one fastball through the hood of a Cybertruck — scientifically, of course.”

🤖 Elon Doubles Down Online

Musk later returned to X with the following string of tweets:

• “Baseball is mid. Bring on zero-gravity cricket.”

• “Braves fans need to touch grass… oh wait, they do. 162 times a year.”

• “If baseball had more lasers, I’d reconsider.”

🏁 Final Thoughts: Just Another Day in Elon’s Brain

Whether Musk’s comments were a joke, a warning shot, or a prelude to a hostile takeover of baseball itself, one thing’s clear:

When Elon Musk gets bored, no one is safe — not even the Atlanta Braves.
