🚨WARNING: Red Bull Racing Drivers SHOCK Elon Musk — Reject $100,000 Anti-Pride Offer and Tell Him to “Donate It to Real Causes, Not Culture Wars”

In a dramatic turn that’s rocking both the motorsport and tech worlds, Red Bull Racing drivers have delivered a powerful and unified response to Elon Musk’s latest attempt to stir culture war controversy in Formula 1.

Earlier this week, Musk made headlines when he posted on X (formerly Twitter):

“Any Red Bull Racing driver who publicly declines Pride Month will receive $100,000 from me. The WOKE era must end.”

But instead of silence—or support—Red Bull’s top drivers fired back with the kind of unity and moral clarity few expected.

Max Verstappen Leads the Charge: “We Stand With People — Not Political Bribes”

Three-time world champion Max Verstappen wasted no time responding to Musk’s offer in a fiery statement on Thursday:

“I race cars, not agendas. We’re here to inspire fans across the world — regardless of who they are or who they love. Elon’s money doesn’t interest me. If he truly wants to make a difference, he should donate it to mental health services, homeless shelters, or children in need.”

He ended with a chilling line:

“The WOKE era isn’t the problem. Indifference is.”

Sergio Pérez: “We Are Not Musk’s Puppets”

Veteran driver Sergio “Checo” Pérez also weighed in, delivering a bold response to reporters at the Canadian Grand Prix:

“Red Bull Racing doesn’t sell its soul for cash, and neither do I. Pride Month is about love, respect, and inclusion. Turning it into a political weapon for attention is shameful.”

He added:

“Let Elon Musk use his millions to help real people instead of trying to buy statements from athletes. We’re not his puppets.”

Team Red Bull Issues Official Statement

Amid the growing backlash, Red Bull Racing released an official team statement that stunned fans and silenced critics:

“Our drivers and team stand united in celebrating diversity, unity, and respect. We will not be manipulated by external offers rooted in division and political spectacle. Red Bull has always been about pushing limits — not limiting people.”

Fans React: “Red Bull Just Lapped Elon Musk”

The internet went wild. While some Musk supporters accused the drivers of being “too woke,” the overwhelming reaction across platforms was one of praise and admiration.

One fan posted on Reddit:

“Max Verstappen just did more for decency in 3 minutes than Musk has in a year.”

Another on X wrote:

“Red Bull Racing just lapped Elon Musk — on and off the track.”

Final Word: “Put Your Money Where It Counts”

During a post-qualifying press conference, Verstappen delivered one final message aimed directly at Musk:

“You say you want to end the woke era? I say it’s time to end the era of billionaires throwing money around to divide people. Take that $100K and help a refugee family. Feed a child. Fund a school. We’re busy racing — and making the world better without a price tag.”

In a sport driven by speed, Red Bull’s response reminded the world that sometimes, it’s about slamming the brakes on ignorance — and driving straight into integrity.
