In 2020, Super Bowl audiences stopped de-d in their tracks. For the first time in the history of the magnanimous event, an alien object appeared on the screen. The object in question? A $20 million dollar worth political game time commercials. Donald Trump and former New York City mayor, Michael Bloomberg, had reportedly occupied the most expensive advertising real estate to air their 60-second campaign ads for $10 million each.

“It is the first ever presidential campaign to buy time during the Super Bowl,” Trump re-election team had said in a statement at the time. Looks like Trump’s re-election is set to bring about another flurry of such ads—this time with Elon Musk taking over the reins. But how true are these rumors? More than 120 million viewers who are expected to tune in for the Super Bowl LIX. No matter where your support lies or where you are, the Super Bowl is a spectacle you just can’t miss out on. And it seems Elon Musk, for one, knows that message very well, as he is supposedly preparing for something big for this year’s Super Bowl—with a rumored $40 million on the line.

See, America won’t just be tuning in to witness the Chiefs and Eagles face off in New Orleans for a shiny Vince Lombardi, as the massive event gives advertisers a special platform to reach the American audience. And those few seconds to grab the viewer’s attention seem to have led Elon Musk to run almost 5 Super Bowl commercials this year.

Currently, there’s no official confirmation of the same from Musk or any of his representatives. Having said that, the rumor mill started working overtime after a tweet from ‘American Sublime’—that claims to “Bringing You News About Our Noble And Glorious Country We Call America! 🇺🇸🏈” in its bio—went viral.

“BREAKING: Elon Musk is reportedly running 5 Super Bowl commercials that expose Government Waste that @DOGE has found through USAID,” the update read on February 6. To get into a bit more detail, with his newfound powers to head the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk is supposedly trying to expose the “controversial” Government wing of USAID. What’s more?

He has reportedly picked the Super Bowl as the right opportunity to get America’s attention and expose what’s going on behind the scenes. Well, the thing is, Musk has recently described USAID as a “viper’s nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America.” For those who aren’t in the loop about what’s going on—USAID is being criticized for overspending American taxpayers’ money to send humanitarian assistance to more than 100 countries.

At one point, the X-owner had also stated that he would be “feeding U.S.A.I.D. into the wood chipper.” And DOGE, which aims to cut government spending, is actively trying to stop USAID’s funding. Out of more than 160 posts Musk has made related to USAID, one that stood out the most was “Time for it to d-e.” Maybe that’s why Musk is trying Super Bowl commercials to do everything he can to stop USAID. But investing almost $40M in 5 Super Bowl ads isn’t the only thing that is probably in Musk’s plans…

But, he would surely like to watch the game live after his recent appearance at Super Bowls.

Will Elon Musk attend this year’s Super Bowl?

See, President Donald Trump will make history as the first sitting US President to attend a Super Bowl. So, maybe Musk will also decide to follow in Trump’s footsteps and drop by New Orleans. And it’s not like he will attend a Super Bowl for the first time. Last year, he was also present at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium alongside his four-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii. Cameras captured him having a front-row seat as the Kansas City Chiefs’ achieved an iconic triumph for the second straight time.

Well, before Super Bowl LVIII, Musk was also spotted at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. At that time, he had an Australian American businessman, Rupert Murdoch, sitting beside him.

So, considering his consecutive Super Bowl appearances, maybe Musk will probably not miss out on Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome. And who knows, maybe the result will also be the same as the last two Super Bowls. Well, if that happens, Musk is probably that lucky charm for the Chiefs that no one really thought about before.
