Very few fighters come close to the popularity Paulo Costa has amassed for his outside-the-Octagon exploits. The former title contender is renowned among MMA fans for his entertaining social media handle. Besides posting hot takes, the middleweight fighter also takes a dig at the opponents. Similarly, in a recent post, the self-claimed ‘Meme God’ humorously requested the new Twitter lynchpin, Elon Musk, to perform a list of tasks.

The Brazilian fighter took to Twitter after Musk made a reference to the famous TV show, the Simpsons.
What did Paulo Costa tweet about Musk?
The billionaire Elon Musk tweeted a shot from the Simpsons S26E12 and claimed that the show predicted his buying Twitter. Notably, the American show has a reputation among viewers for predicting future events. But, the 31-year-old athlete sensed an opportunity.
‘Borrachinha‘ replied to the ‘Chief Twit‘ and hilariously asked him to buy TikTok. Thus, he said, “Elon please buy TikTok and delete it”

The 14-2 record holder then found a knack for a string of similar requests. Following his TikTok request, the MMA fighter asked Musk to buy the world’s biggest MMA promotion, UFC. Hence, he wrote, “Buy ufc and put ringgits topless”
