The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, has finally taken charge of the social media giant Twitter after a massive acquisition worth $44 billion. The deal got finalized months after he initiated an interest in buying the company. With this successfully being carried out, Tom Brady might be the happiest man on Earth because he had a special request for Musk if he ever takes ownership of the social media platform.

The Buccaneers quarterback had earlier mentioned that the only thing he felt embarrassed about was his NFL Combine photo from 2000. The iconic photograph circulated as meme material across social media for the past twenty years, and critics would often use it to get under his skin.

Even though Brady’s most embarrassing moments can be turned into an inspiration, this pic was something that remained a headache for the passer.

A few months ago, when the news arrived of Musk showing interest in purchasing Twitter, the Seven-time Super Bowl Champion hopped in, making a bizarre request. “If you buy twitter can you delete the Combine photo?” Brady wrote on the platform. It took no time to spread like a wildfire, and fans started trolling the veteran.

Well, the day has finally come after Musk officially took charge of the company. He is expected to throne as the CEO alongside his other ventures like Tesla and SpaceX.

Although Brady hasn’t reiterated his request after the latest update arrived, the quarterback can still hope for a result. The tweet was actually made for fun as the aforementioned request isn’t practically possible, but fans loved the quarterback’s wit and presence of mind.

Tom Brady recalls the day when the photo was taken

Today, Tom Brady might be the greatest quarterback of all time, but the way he stepped his foot inside the league is worth remembering. The sixth-round, 199th overall pick of the 2000 NFL draft went on to rewrite history and change the course of the game.

When asked about the pic in one of his recent interviews, Brady mentioned that it didn’t bother him much. “Oh, man. You know what? I wouldn’t pay anything. It serves as a great reminder of where I’ve come from. So at this point, I would say I’m pretty cool with it.” Brady said on the show.

“I look back and I think, God, I remember that day. I remember rooming with Mark Bolger in an Indianapolis hotel room and laughing about where we were at and couldn’t imagine that we were both in this position,” he added to his explanation.
