Elon Musk backed by McGregor's coach—Is this the ultimate celebrity alliance or just damage control?

The former President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, has been making big waves in the world with his campaign for the 2024 presidential elections. However, not all moves seem to have a good effect on the public. On the 7th of August, the ex-POTUS announced that he would appear in an interview with the CEO of X and Tesla, Elon Musk. But the netizens began boycotting Musk for his decision.

Right after Trump announced his interview with Musk, many netizens began badmouthing the X boss. Needless to say, the situation rose because Musk previously endorsed Trump. Taking to X, the entrepreneur wrote, “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.” In a funny turn of events, this led Trump to like electric automobiles, which he didn’t like earlier. 

However, the netizens didn’t like Musk’s decision. Soon enough, many people began a trend of blocking Musk on X and sharing the screenshots. One of the users on X did the same and wrote, “Everyone should block @elonmusk on TWITTER! Post your screenshots and tweet!”

But Mush wasn’t alone in his stance. John Kavanagh, McGregor’s coach and owner of the Straight Blast Gym, swooped in to defend Musk from the netizens. Replying to the aforementioned tweet, the coach tweeted, “Do a bit of boxing or something lad, even just hit the pads. It’s really sad you think this is some brave act of defiance.”

During an interview with the controversial online streamer, Adin Ross, Trump was asked about his favorite fighter in the UFC. But instead of naming an American Fighter, he picked the former UFC lightweight champion and McGregor’s former opponent. Without a doubt, ‘The Notorious’ did not expect Trump to choose Nurmagomedov as his favorite. The ‘Mystic Mac’ simply wanted Trump to choose an American fighter as his favorite mixed martial artist competing in the UFC.
