F1 BOMBSHELL: Max Verstappen Urges Fans to DELETE Elon Musk’s X App After Tesla Ban on Red Bull Racing Drivers — “This App is Just Sh*t Now”
In a move sending shockwaves through the Formula 1 world, reigning World Champion Max Verstappen has unleashed a brutal takedown of Elon Musk, slamming the billionaire’s decision to ban Red Bull Racing drivers from using Tesla products — and going so far as to urge fans to delete the X app entirely.
The controversy ignited after Musk posted a blistering message on X (formerly Twitter), declaring that “Tesla will no longer associate with anyone connected to Red Bull Racing” following what sources claim was a failed sponsorship negotiation between Tesla and the dominant F1 team.
“If Red Bull won’t support innovation with Tesla,” Musk wrote, “then their drivers don’t deserve to drive Teslas. Ban effective immediately.”
But Verstappen didn’t let the insult slide.
🔥 MAX STRIKES BACK
Speaking to reporters ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, Verstappen’s frustration was explosive and unapologetically real:
“This app? It’s just sh*t now. Full of ego, drama, and nonsense. I deleted it months ago and I’m telling F1 fans: do the same. Don’t give this guy the attention he wants.”
His bold statement was met with stunned silence in the press room, before instantly going viral across rival platforms like Threads and Instagram.
🧨 “NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR ELECTRIC CARS”
Verstappen didn’t hold back when pressed further about Musk’s comments:
“He wants headlines. He wants controversy. But no one in F1 gives a damn about your electric cars. We race real machines, and we’re not begging for your sponsorship.”
Fans erupted in support, with hashtags like #DeleteX and #MaxRoastsMusk trending globally within hours.
One top-liked fan reaction read:
“Max Verstappen just body-slammed Elon Musk and lit the X app on fire. Legendary.”
Another added:
“Imagine being so rich and still getting owned by a 27-year-old race car driver in front of the whole world.”
🚫 ELON’S F1 MELTDOWN?
Sources close to Red Bull confirm Musk had approached the team about co-branding initiatives earlier this year, but Christian Horner allegedly rejected the offer, stating that “F1 is not a platform for chaotic PR experiments.”
Musk, in response, chose the nuclear option — and now he’s paying the price with one of the sport’s most influential voices turning the public tide against him.
🤖 TESLA FANS CLASH WITH F1 LOYALISTS
As the situation spirals, Musk loyalists have gone on the defensive:
“Tesla is the future. F1 is just a fossil fuel circus.”
But Verstappen fans fired back:
“The day Elon drives 300 km/h through Eau Rouge without flinching is the day he can talk about racing.”
🏁 WHAT’S NEXT?
While F1 itself has not released an official statement, insiders say the FIA is monitoring the situation closely due to its “unnecessary disruption to team operations and driver safety.”
Max Verstappen, however, appears unfazed and unapologetic.
“I don’t need Elon Musk, and neither does F1. If he wants to ban us from his toys, fine. We’ll keep winning races while he keeps tweeting garbage.”
End of story? Not likely. Because when the world’s fastest man calls out the world’s loudest billionaire… the race is just getting started.
