Brett Favre makes feelings on Elon Musk and Donald | NFL News

NFL legend Brett Favre has come out in help of Elon Musk amidst current assaults on his Tesla dealerships attributable to his involvement with DOGE and its push for widespread authorities job cuts. The former Green Bay Packers star expressed his sympathy for Musk, who he believes is simply making an attempt to “make the country better”.

Speaking on OutKick’s “The Ricky Cobb Show”, Favre mentioned: “Elon Musk, several years ago was a Democrat. They loved him. He was the most brilliant inventor, smartest guy ever, richest man in the world, he was on the pedestal. Now he’s working for free and trying to make this country better. Does he need it? Does he need to do that? If you want to fly off into the sunset, buy several islands and never be heard from again, he can do that. And the same can be said for Trump.

“And so, this man’s doing it as a result of he loves this nation and people are hating him for that. I hate it for Elon however I do know he’ll be OK. He’s a lot smarter than all of us and he is fairly resilient. Anyone who’s keen to do what he’s doing for this nation, deserves all of the accolades you could give him, not the adverse backlash.”

Amid the growing number of violent incidents targeting Tesla dealerships, including gunfire at one of the premises, the FBI has been compelled to establish a task force to tackle the rising tide of crimes against the electric vehicle giant.

The Justice Department isn’t standing back either, having pressed charges against individuals accused of arson, with Attorney General Pam Bondi condemning the attacks as “home terrorism”.

In the wake of these hostile acts, Favre didn’t mince words when criticizing the actions of some extreme leftist individuals. “I simply assume that the left, on this case and in a lot of instances, could be very evil. To even remotely assault this man the way in which they’ve is completely loopy,” said the 55-year-old former quarterback.

Known for his unfiltered views, just last week Favre voiced his stance on a sensitive subject by openly criticising the decision-makers involved in allowing a transgender athlete to participate in a girl’s high school sports event in Oregon—a stand he took after seeing the social media footage of the event.

Musk admitted at a town hall gathering in Wisconsin on Sunday that Tesla’s stock has been slashed “roughly in half” due to the onslaught on his company, acknowledging it as “a huge deal.”

By Monday, figures revealed a further 1.7 per cent drop in shares, and nearly a 50 per cent decrease since their December peak.
