Elon Musk is known for his controversial takes and decisions. And from the looks of it, even his Super Bowl favorite has become a topic of contention. Additionally, the intense rivalry between the two fan bases has called for feuds in the days leading up to the Super Bowl. At 24-14, the Eagles have lived up to their reputation of being the best offense in the league this season. As Patrick Mahomes limped off the field towards the end of the second quarter, Chiefs fans will wait with bated breath, hoping to see their QB emerge stronger in the third quarter. Musk, alongside other Eagles fans, will hope that their team can continue to extend their dominance when they take the field once again.
