Elon Musk, known for his strong opinions on everything from space travel to artificial intelligence, has now turned his attention to the NFL. In a recent interview, the billionaire praised Jalen Hurts, calling him “a dynamic quarterback with a bright future.” However, Musk, never one to hold back, quickly followed up with a statement that sent Eagles fans into a frenzy:
“Patrick Mahomes is still one level better.”
The comment instantly sparked debate among football fans, especially those in Philadelphia who have passionately defended their star quarterback. Some Eagles supporters took to social media, demanding Musk stick to launching rockets and leave football analysis to the experts. One fan tweeted: “Musk can land a spaceship on Mars, but he clearly hasn’t watched Jalen’s highlights from last season!”
Meanwhile, Chiefs fans reveled in the endorsement, with one post declaring, “If the guy who builds self-driving cars says Mahomes is better, who are we to argue?”
Despite the controversy, Musk appeared unfazed, even joking that he was considering creating an AI-powered football analytics system to settle these debates once and for all. When asked if he’d ever consider owning an NFL team, Musk reportedly smirked and said, “If I did, my quarterback would be Mahomes, of course.”
For now, Musk remains committed to his ventures in space and technology, but his occasional foray into sports commentary proves one thing: even billionaires can’t resist a good football debate.
