10 MINUTES AGO: Elon Musk offered Cristiano Ronaldo $100 million to promote his Tesla Cybertruck, but the football star’s response shocked the world.
The world stops after a seductive revelation: Elop Musk, Tesla’s visionary CEO, turned to soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo for a $100 million offer to promote the futuristic Cybertruck . But Ronaldo’s response surprised not only Musk, but the entire world. What did the Portuguese star say and why was his reaction so seductive? Let’s dive into this explosive drama!
The offer comes at a time when Tesla is committed to turning its gigantic electric vehicle, the Cybertruck , into a cult object. With its sleek design and rugged appearance, the Cybertruck symbolizes Tesla’s ambition to revolutionize the automotive industry. To capture as much global attention as possible, Tesla turned to Ronaldo, one of the world’s most famous athletes and drivers. The offer: $100 million for an advertising campaign featuring Ronaldo as the face of the Cybertruck, a deal that would have attracted the attention of millions of fans around the world.
According to some sources, MŅsk personally contacted the Roaldo Agency in the hope that the footballer, known for his love of luxury, would take advantage of the opportunity. The proposal included a series of advertisements, social media posts and even a spectacular presentation of the Cybertruck at the Al-Nassr stadium in Roaldo. But what followed was a turmoil that was already expected. Roaldo rejected the offer and gave an answer that surprised everyone: “I only promote things that I believe in myself.”
These cold and direct words were uttered at the post-match press conference, when Ronaldo asked for the offer. The statement, interpreted as a veiled criticism of Cybertruck and perhaps also of Manchester United itself, triggered an avalanche of reactions. The discussion began at Table X, with fans divided into two factions. Ronaldo’s fan celebrated his integrity: “CR7 is still real! You can’t buy him!”, the fan wrote. Ronaldo’s fans, like the others, are outraged: “Roaldo has no idea of the applause! What a mistake!”
The rejection was widespread. For Musk, it was a rare public setback. The Tesla CEO, accustomed to celebrity praise for his ideas, reacted with surprising restraint. In a cryptic post about X, he wrote: “Some people don’t understand the future. Let’s move on.” But the comments suggested that Musk objected to the secrecy and that he had interpreted Ronaldo’s rejection as a personal loss. Tesla is also rumored to be considering other fashion stars, including Beyoncé and Tom Brady, for the event to limit the damage.
For Roaldo, the moment cements his reputation as someone who uses his principles as an excuse to make money. The four-year-old, who has endorsed brands like Nike and Clear in the past, is known for his selective approach to sponsorship deals. Analysts speculate that Roaldo had doubts about the practicality of the Cybertruck or that Musk’s polarizing personality put him off. “Roaldo is a law-abiding guy. I wouldn’t risk anything for a quick deal,” the marketing expert said.
Public opinion was divided. Some praised Ronaldo’s steadfastness and challenged his response as a bold sign of Musk’s loyalty. Others saw it as an act of gratitude, given that the offer represented an opportunity to further expand his global reach. The debate also raised questions about the future of the Cybertruck: If Ronaldo rejected the vehicle, how would it be accepted by the public?
As the world waits for Musk’s next move, Ronaldo’s decision sent a clear message: If even $100 million is enough, it could affect everyone. This heated battle between two titanic powers in their respective worlds has made headlines and will remain on everyone’s lips for a long time. Will Musk use his celebrity to promote the Cybertruck , or will Ronaldo’s rejection overshadow Tesla’s plans?
