NHL BOMBSHELL: Elon Musk announces that if the Edmonton Oilers refuse to partner with Tesla, he will prohibit Oilers players and Canadian citizens from buying Tesla vehicles in the future. Details ๐๐๐
In a move that has the entire sports world โ and Canada โ talking, Elon Musk just threw down a jaw-dropping ultimatum aimed squarely at the Edmonton Oilers.
According to sources close to the tech mogul, Musk is furious after the Oilers reportedly declined a multi-million-dollar partnership proposal between Tesla and the team. The deal was said to include Teslaโs branding on uniforms, exclusive charging stations at Rogers Place, and cross-promotional campaigns across the NHL.
But now, Musk is playing hardball.
> โIf the Edmonton Oilers donโt want to work with Tesla, thatโs their choice,โ Musk allegedly said in a late-night post on X. โBut from this point forward, no Oilers player or Canadian citizen will be allowed to buy a Tesla. Period.โ
The shocking statement sent shockwaves through social media โ with hashtags like #TeslaBanCanada, #MuskVsOilers, and #ElonNHLDrama trending within minutes.
Fans are divided: some are calling Muskโs move โbold business,โ while others are slamming it as โa billionaire tantrum.โ Even NHL insiders are speculating that this feud could spill into the 2025โ26 season, especially since several Oilers stars โ including Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl โ are known Tesla owners.
> โYou canโt just ban a whole country from buying cars because a hockey team said no,โ one fan posted.
โItโs Elon โ of course he can,โ another replied.
As of now, neither the Oilers organization nor Tesla has released an official statement, but insiders say negotiations may not be over yet โ and that Musk โdoesnโt bluff.โ
