The world stops after a sensational revelation: Elop Musk, the visionary CEO of Tesla, 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 as Tesla is committed to transforming its gigantic electric vehicle, the Cybertruck, into a cult object. With its sleek design and rugged looks, 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 influencers. The offer: $100 million for an advertising campaign featuring Ronaldo as the face of Cybertruck, a deal that would have attracted the attention of millions of fans worldwide.
According to some sources, MŅsk personally contacted the Ronaldo Agency in the hope that the footballer, known for his passion for luxury, would seize 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 Ronaldo. But what followed was an unexpected turmoil. Roaldo rejected the offer and gave a response that surprised everyone: “I only promote things I believe in.”
These cold and direct words were spoken at the post-match press conference when Ronaldo requested the offer. The statement, interpreted as a veiled criticism of Cybertruck and perhaps also Munk himself, has unleashed an avalanche of reactions. The discussion began at Table X, with the fans divided into two factions. Ronaldo’s fans celebrated his integrity: “CR7 is still real! You can’t buy him!” wrote the fan. Mosk’s followers, on the other hand, are outraged: “Roaldo has no idea about the applause! What a mistake!”
The rejection has consequences on a massive scale. For Mosk, it’s a rare public setback. The Tesla CEO, accustomed to celebrity endorsements for his ideas, reacted with surprisingly restrained restraint. In a cryptic post about X, he wrote: “Some people don’t understand the future. Let’s move on.” But the comments indicated that Musk opposed the secret and that he had interpreted Ronaldo’s refusal as a personal loss. It is rumored that Tesla is also considering other fashion stars like Beyonce and Tom Brady for the field, to limit the damage.
For Ronaldo, this moment strengthens his reputation as a person who uses his principles as an excuse for money. The four-year-old, who has sponsored brands like Nike and Clear in the past, is known for his selective approach to sponsorship deals. Analysts hypothesize that Ronaldo had doubts about the Cybertruck’s practicality or that Musk’s polarizing personality discouraged him. “Ronaldo is a brand in his own right. I wouldn’t risk anything for a quick deal,” said the marketing expert.
Public opinion is divided. Some praised Ronaldo’s firmness and defined his response as a bold arrow to Musk’s infidelity. Others considered it an ungrateful act, since the offer represented an opportunity to further expand his global reach. The debate also raised questions about Cybertruck’s future: if Ronaldo even rejected the vehicle, how would it be accepted by the public?
While the world waits for Musk’s next move, Ronaldo’s decision sent a clear message: If even $100 million is enough, it can convince everyone. This heated battle between two titanic powers of their respective worlds has made headlines and will remain on everyone’s lips for a long time. Will Musk find the celebrity to promote the Cybertruck, or will Ronaldo’s rejection overshadow Tesla’s plans?
