HH. SHOCK NFL: Elon Musk declares he is a Steelers fan, will use “any means necessary” to help them win the 2025 Super Bowl

The NFL world was turned upside down when tech billionaire Elon Musk made a bold and unexpected announcement: he is officially a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Known for his eccentric personality and ambitious ventures from Tesla to SpaceX, Musk stunned both the tech and sports communities when he vowed to use 

“any means necessary” to help the Steelers secure the 2025 Super Bowl.

The revelation came during a live interview at a business summit in Los Angeles. When asked about his thoughts on American football, Musk smiled and dropped the bombshell: 

“I’ve been a Steelers fan for years, but this season I’ll do whatever it takes—by any means necessary—to help them win the Super Bowl.”

Almost instantly, social media erupted. Steelers Nation, one of the most passionate fanbases in the NFL, flooded X (formerly Twitter) with memes, jokes, and excitement. Some joked that Musk might design a rocket-powered football, while others speculated he could outfit the team with futuristic AI-driven helmets. “If Elon Musk says he’ll help the Steelers, then the Super Bowl is practically ours already,” one fan posted.

Meanwhile, critics were quick to express skepticism. NFL insiders pointed out that league rules prohibit outside financial interference or technological advantages for a team. Still, Musk’s reputation for innovation left many wondering what creative, albeit legal, strategies he might deploy to support the Steelers. Could he bankroll massive fan engagement projects, invest in Pittsburgh’s sports facilities, or even offer cutting-edge performance technology within league regulations?

Head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about Musk’s comments during a press conference. With a trademark calm expression, Tomlin replied, “We appreciate all our fans, regardless of who they are. The Pittsburgh Steelers have always focused on hard work, discipline, and unity. If Mr. Musk supports us, that’s great, but we’re focused on football.”

 His subtle response left the door open for speculation without confirming any direct collaboration.

Star linebacker T.J. Watt even chimed in with a lighthearted remark: “If Elon Musk wants to put rocket boosters on my cleats, I won’t say no. But we’ll win this Super Bowl the Steelers way—tough defense and determination.”

Analysts say that Musk’s declaration may have more impact off the field than on it. His words have drawn unprecedented attention to the Steelers, boosting their visibility across global markets. Merchandise sales reportedly spiked overnight following the announcement, and ticket demand for Steelers games is at an all-time high.

Whether Musk’s involvement remains symbolic or evolves into tangible action, one thing is certain: the 2025 NFL season just became more intriguing. The idea of one of the world’s most powerful entrepreneurs aligning himself with one of football’s most storied franchises has captivated fans and critics alike.

For now, Steelers Nation is buzzing with excitement, fueled by Musk’s promise and their own unwavering belief. And if the Pittsburgh Steelers do hoist the Lombardi Trophy next February, fans might just thank Elon Musk for being the team’s most unexpected ally.

Daniel Jones Explains How Kevin O’Connell’s Coaching Transformed His Career

Daniel Jones was part of the Minnesota Vikings for less than two months, but his time with the franchise left a big impression on him before his breakout performance with the Indianapolis Colts this season.

Jones has led the Colts to an impressive 4-1 start, completing 71.3% of his passes for 1,290 yards, nine total touchdowns and three interceptions. He was recently on the Fitz & Whit podcast with ex-players Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth, where he talked about his short time in Minnesota and how it opened his eyes after six years with the Giants.

“I always thought I worked really hard, I tried to work really hard, and it was important for me to prepare; watching film, study. I think I did that,” Jones said. “But going to Minnesota, I saw how Sam [Darnold] prepared. I saw how Kevin [O’Connell] prepared those guys, Josh McCown, Grant Udinski, that crew, and how detailed they were, day-in-and-day-out on every little bit of the plan.

“How they’re going to study it. What they’re looking for, walking through it, quizzing each other in the quarterback room. That made a big impression on me: ‘this is maybe the next level of some of that stuff.’

Kevin O’Connell and the Vikings’ coaching staff now have a track record of reviving Jones and Sam Darnold’s careers. If you told someone this time last year that Jones would have the third-most passing yards in the NFL with the Colts, they might’ve looked at you like you were speaking a different language. Jones has led Indianapolis to the highest point differential at +74 through five weeks, and they look like one of the hottest teams in the league.

Seeing Darnold and Jones lead explosive offenses on different teams while Minnesota struggles to find consistent QB play could be frustrating. But Jones’ resurgence as a top-half starter is more evidence that O’Connell is the type of coach you want to develop a young quarterback like J.J. McCarthy.

Quarterback development is not always linear. Both Darnold and Jones’ careers are proof that it’s hard for young signal callers to step in and succeed right away. As McCarthy continues to recover from injury, it’s important to be patient. And as O’Connell’s QB development track record continues to grow, Vikings fans can only hope that McCarthy is the next to benefit.
