Just In: Elon Musk Emerges as Leading Contender to Buy Dallas Cowboys
The sports world was thrown into a frenzy today when news broke that tech billionaire Elon Musk is now the leading contender to purchase the Dallas Cowboys.
Rumors had swirled for months that Jerry Jones, the legendary owner of the team, was quietly considering offers. While most expected a deal to come from within the NFL’s inner circle of wealthy investors, Musk’s sudden emergence took everyone by surprise.
At a hastily arranged press conference, Musk appeared wearing a Cowboys jacket, his trademark grin lighting up the room. “I’ve always admired the Cowboys,” he began. “They are the Tesla of football—iconic, innovative, and sometimes polarizing. I think I can bring something new to the team.”
Details of Musk’s plans quickly surfaced. According to insiders, Musk envisions turning AT&T Stadium into the “most advanced sports venue in history,” complete with solar-powered roofs, autonomous fan shuttles, and drone-delivered concessions. There’s even talk of a partnership with SpaceX to broadcast Cowboys games live from low-Earth orbit.
Players and fans reacted with cautious excitement. Star quarterback Dak Prescott joked, “Does this mean we’re getting Tesla Cybertrucks for team buses?” Longtime fans, however, were split. “I don’t know if we need a tech guy owning America’s Team,” said one. “But if it means we start winning Super Bowls again, I’m all for it!”
Meanwhile, Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to fan the flames of speculation. “Thinking of renaming them the Mars Cowboys. Thoughts?” he posted, sparking a wave of memes and debates across social media.
Jerry Jones, who built the Cowboys into the most valuable sports franchise in the world, has yet to comment publicly on the matter. But close associates suggest he might see Musk as the perfect successor to carry the Cowboys into a new era.
As the NFL deliberates the unprecedented move, one thing is clear: if Musk becomes the owner, the Cowboys won’t just be playing football—they’ll be making history.
