Los Angeles, CA – In a story that is already sending shockwaves through both the tech and sports worlds, sources close to Tesla have revealed that Elon Musk personally approached global football icon Cristiano Ronaldo with a $100 million endorsement deal to become the face of the much-anticipated Tesla Cybertruck. However, Ronaldo’s response was anything but predictable.
The Offer: $100 Million for a Global Partnership
According to insiders familiar with the offer, Musk reached out to Ronaldo’s team with a high-stakes proposal: $100 million to front Tesla’s Cybertruck campaign globally, including commercials, branded appearances, and exclusive social media promotion to Ronaldo’s 600+ million followers.
The deal would’ve made Ronaldo not only the face of Tesla’s flagship vehicle but also one of the highest-paid brand ambassadors in history — surpassing even his deals with Nike and other luxury brands.
“Elon wanted a cultural icon, not just a celebrity. He believes the Cybertruck needs a face as bold and futuristic as the truck itself,” a source within Tesla’s marketing division shared.
Ronaldo’s Response: Unexpected and Unapologetic
While many assumed the footballer would accept the historic deal, Ronaldo reportedly declined the offer outright, citing concerns about Tesla’s ongoing controversies and his personal commitment to environmental causes beyond electric vehicles.
“Cristiano was flattered, but made it clear that his brand is about discipline, legacy, and purpose — not just image or tech hype,” said a representative from Ronaldo’s camp.
According to reports, Ronaldo questioned whether associating with Tesla aligned with his long-term personal vision — especially given Musk’s recent public controversies and the Cybertruck’s polarizing design.
The Global Reaction: Shock, Respect, and Speculation
The decision has sparked intense reactions across social media, with fans and analysts alike expressing shock, admiration, and curiosity.
On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag #RonaldoRejectsTesla began trending within hours, as users debated the motivations behind the move:
“Ronaldo walking away from $100M shows he’s playing a bigger game than money.”
“Is this the first time someone has told Elon Musk ‘no’ at this level?”
Others speculated that Ronaldo may be in talks with rival EV companies or exploring investments in sustainable energy ventures of his own — something his camp has neither confirmed nor denied.
Elon Musk Responds in Classic Musk Fashion
Never one to stay silent, Elon Musk reportedly replied with a cryptic tweet just hours after the story broke:
“Not everyone can handle the future. Still respect the GOAT.”
Fans saw it as a subtle acknowledgment — and a signal that Musk may already be eyeing another global icon for his Cybertruck campaign.
What’s Next?
While Ronaldo’s decision may have surprised many, it further solidifies his image as a calculated, brand-conscious athlete with values that transcend the playing field. Meanwhile, Tesla is expected to unveil a new marketing direction for the Cybertruck in the coming weeks — potentially without the star power of CR7.
Conclusion
In an age where celebrity endorsements often chase the highest bidder, Cristiano Ronaldo’s rejection of a $100 million Tesla deal reminds the world that reputation and personal vision still matter — even at the highest levels of fame and fortune.
Whether this was a missed opportunity for Tesla or a strategic move by Ronaldo remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the Cybertruck won’t have a CR7 badge on it anytime soon.
