Ever since Kyle Busch announced that he would be leaving for RCR come next season, quite a few have been asking who would sponsor him there. A few weeks ago we saw Busch get into a conversation with Sling on Twitter to talk about a potential deal. Now, Rowdy Busch seems to be targeting an even bigger commercial partner.

Billionaire Elon Musk recently announced himself as the ‘Chief Twit’, after buying Twitter for $44 billion. Furthermore, Musk recently posted a tweet about how verified accounts on the social media platform would have to pay $8 a month to keep their account verified. Notably, Kyle Busch retweeted it, and said, Hey @elonmusk, while I love the number choice, I think we need to make an official deal first…

It would certainly be amazing for fans to see a Twitter-sponsored Chevrolet racing in circles with Kyle Busch sticking his finger out of the window, like in the good old times. Maybe, if not Twitter, Musk sure has a lot of other ventures going, perhaps, even the Boring Company would suffice. Who would not like to see something like Rowdy Busch riding a Boring Company Chevy?
