BREAKING: Megan Rapinoe Loses $100 Million Brand Contract After Argument with Elon Musk – “I Will Leave America if Elon is Not Punished,” Musk Responds

Soccer star Megan Rapinoe has once again found herself at the center of controversy after a heated public dispute with billionaire Elon Musk. The fallout from the argument has reportedly cost Rapinoe a major $100 million brand contract, leaving her future endorsements uncertain.

The Feud Between Rapinoe and Musk

Tension between the two began when Rapinoe, a vocal advocate for social justice and equality, publicly criticized Musk for his handling of X (formerly Twitter), accusing him of allowing “harmful rhetoric” to spread unchecked on the platform.

Musk, never one to back down from confrontation, fired back on X, mocking Rapinoe’s stance and suggesting that her declining influence in soccer made her opinions “irrelevant”.

Their online spat quickly escalated, drawing widespread media attention and dividing public opinion.

Rapinoe’s $100 Million Loss

As a consequence of the controversy, a high-profile brand—which had a multi-year contract with Rapinoe worth approximately $100 million—has reportedly cut ties with her.

Sources close to the situation claim the brand was concerned that Rapinoe’s increasingly polarizing presence could damage its public image. While the brand has yet to release an official statement, insiders suggest they were under pressure from stakeholders to distance themselves from the drama.

Following the contract loss, Rapinoe made a bold statement:

“I will leave America if Elon is not punished for the damage he is causing. He must be held accountable.”

Elon Musk’s Response

Musk wasted no time in responding, taking to X with a blunt remark:

“Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”

The billionaire then doubled down, sarcastically offering to “buy her a one-way ticket” to anywhere she chooses.

Public Reaction

The feud has triggered a massive reaction across social media. Rapinoe’s supporters argue that she is being unfairly targeted for speaking out, while Musk’s followers praise him for “exposing woke hypocrisy.”

Meanwhile, business analysts note that this situation highlights the growing impact of political and social stances on brand partnerships.

What’s Next for Rapinoe?

With one major deal already lost, it remains to be seen whether other sponsors will continue to support Rapinoe or follow suit. Will she follow through on her threat to leave America, or is this just another chapter in the ongoing cultural divide between celebrities and tech moguls?

What do you think? Was the brand right to drop Rapinoe, or is this a case of corporate overreaction? Let us know in the comments!
