In a blockbuster development that has rocked the NFL, billionaire Elon Musk has emerged as the top candidate to purchase the Dallas Cowboys from longtime owner Jerry Jones for a staggering $9.2 billion. This potential deal would mark one of the biggest transactions in sports history, leaving fans and analysts in shock and excitement over what the future holds for “America’s Team.”
Elon Musk & The Dallas Cowboys: A Shocking Connection
Musk, the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter), has always been a tech and business mogul, but few expected him to enter the NFL world. Sources close to the situation reveal that Musk has been in private discussions with Jerry Jones for months, expressing serious interest in taking over the franchise.
One insider stated:
“Elon sees the Cowboys as more than just a team – he sees them as a global brand that can be revolutionized. This deal could change the entire NFL landscape.”
Jerry Jones – Finally Ready to Sell?
Jones, who has owned the Cowboys since 1989, has previously shut down all speculation about selling the team. However, at 81 years old, there are growing reports that he is considering stepping away, especially if the right buyer and record-breaking offer come along.
With the Dallas Cowboys valued at approximately $9 billion, Musk’s $9.2 billion bid would make this the largest purchase in sports history – surpassing the $6.05 billion sale of the Washington Commanders in 2023.
- One Cowboys fan tweeted: “If Elon Musk buys the Cowboys, expect AI-powered playbooks and space-themed halftime shows!”
- A critic responded: “Musk should stick to rockets and Teslas. The NFL doesn’t need a billionaire experiment!”
- Another fan wrote: “Honestly, this could be HUGE. Imagine what Musk’s innovation could do for the team and the NFL!”
What Would an Elon Musk-Owned Cowboys Look Like?
If Musk successfully acquires the Cowboys, expect major changes:
Sports are weird. Fans dedicate large parts of their lives to teams including cheering for them on game day, attending games or buying all kinds of merchandise. Sometimes, sports fandoms can lead people to start rumors, with some going viral and really garnering a lot of attention.
The Cowboys finished the regular season with a 7-10 record and missing the playoffs. Despite not being one of the playoff teams this year, Dallas has still been in the news as many are wondering what fate awaits current head coach Mike McCarthy. His contract is up later this month, and his future with the franchise is uncertain.
