Elon Musk Waves Terrible Towel at Steelers-Cowboys Game
The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is cheering on the Steelers at Sunday night’s game against the Dallas Cowboys at Acrisure Stadium. Musk, the owner of X and investor known for his key roles in the space company SpaceX and the automotive company Tesla, Inc., has an astronomical net worth of $264 billion.
Musk was captured waiving a Terrible Towel before the game. He also wrote on X, “Go Steelers!!” He was next to Steelers co-owner and fellow billionaire Thomas Tull in a suite. Tull is a businessman, entrepreneur, and film producer. He is the former chairman and chief executive officer of Legendary Entertainment. Tull has been a fan of the Steelers since age four and in 2009 became a part-owner of the team.
Musk is from South Africa and has never really expressed much interest in the NFL.

Musk appearing at a Steelers game is pretty random, but I assume he’s friends with Tull. Musk also spoke at a Donald Trump rally in Butler, Pa on Saturday, so he was in the area.
Musk was not the only special guest at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday night, as rapper and die-hard Steelers fan, Snoop Dogg, was in the building. Snoop Dogg led the Terrible Towel Wave at the game.
Rain delay did not put a damper on @SnoopDogg ☔️

The start of the Steelers-Cowboys game was delayed from 8:20 to 9:45 p.m. due to lightning in the area. The Cowboys lead 6-3 at halftime.
With the weather delay, the 6-3 halftime score and the world’s richest man being at Acrisure Stadium. It’s definitely been an usual game.
