💣 NFL BOMBSHELL: Elon Musk Warns Dallas Cowboys — “Partner with Tesla or Your Players Can’t Drive Teslas Ever Again”
“If the Cowboys think Tesla isn’t good enough for Texas, maybe Tesla isn’t good enough for the Cowboys.”
— Elon Musk, Tesla CEO
DALLAS, TX — In a headline only Elon Musk could inspire, the billionaire tech mogul has threatened to ban all Dallas Cowboys players from owning Teslas if the team doesn’t agree to a Tesla sponsorship deal at AT&T Stadium.
In a post on his platform X (formerly Twitter) early this morning, Musk wrote:
“No Tesla charging stations, no Model S Plaids in the parking lot, nothing. If Jerry Jones won’t work with Tesla, his players won’t ride with Tesla. Fair trade. 🤷”
The tweet, which included a cowboy hat emoji and a GIF of someone slamming a car door, immediately set social media ablaze.
🤯 WHAT SPARKED THE THREAT?
Sources close to the situation say Tesla had recently pitched a multi-year branding partnership with the Cowboys — including exclusive EV charging hubs at the stadium and joint marketing during national broadcasts.
But reportedly, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys “politely passed,” opting to continue their deal with a competing auto partner.
That’s when Musk fired back online.
🚗 “TESLA EMBARGO FOR COWBOYS”
Elon’s post was followed by a cryptic reply:
“Micah Parsons? Sorry. CeeDee Lamb? Walk to practice. Dak? Better get a Ford.”
While it’s unclear how serious Musk’s “ban” really is — or how enforceable it could ever be — the Tesla CEO has a history of making bold, unconventional moves based more on ego than logistics.
“We’re not going to sell Teslas to people who snub us? Sounds… very on brand for Elon,” said one marketing executive familiar with Tesla’s unpredictable outreach.
🏈 COWBOYS REACTION
The Cowboys organization hasn’t issued an official comment yet, but insiders say the team is “amused but unbothered” by the threat.
A front-office source joked:
“If Teslas could throw a deep ball, maybe Jerry would reconsider.”
Others inside the building reportedly referred to Musk’s move as “playground politics.”
🚫 CAN HE REALLY BAN TESLA SALES?
According to consumer law experts, probably not.
“Unless he sets up facial recognition at Tesla dealerships or requires NFL rosters during sales, this ‘ban’ is more publicity than policy,” said attorney Mike Landers.
Still, some fans worry the feud could create friction between players and the brand — especially since several Cowboys stars already own Teslas.
📱 FAN REACTIONS ARE GOLD
Cowboys and Tesla fans alike lit up the internet with reactions:
-
“Dak can’t win in January and now he can’t even drive to camp?”
-
“This is the weirdest NFL drama of the year and it’s not even Week 1.”
-
“Musk picking fights with Jerry Jones? He’s about to find out Texas doesn’t flinch.”
Others simply enjoyed the memes, with posts like:
“CeeDee Lamb in a Cybertruck: Elon’s final offer.”
🏁 FINAL WORD
Whether this is a real corporate standoff or just another Elon Musk media stunt, one thing’s clear — the Tesla CEO is willing to pull out all the stops to get his way, even if it means banning athletes from driving his luxury EVs.
For now, Cowboys players might want to hold off on their next Tesla order, just in case.
