Indianapolis, August 3 – After a nail-biting 85–83 win over the Seattle Storm, the Indiana Fever thought they had peaked for the night. Little did they know, Elon Musk — the billionaire genius behind Tesla and SpaceX — was watching, and he had a galactic-level surprise in store.
Just hours after the final buzzer, Musk posted this cryptic tweet on X (formerly Twitter):
“Big respect to @IndianaFever. Real grit. Real power. A little something is coming your way.
”
Most people assumed it was just a shoutout.
They were wrong.
FEVER x TESLA: CUSTOM CYBERTRUCKS FOR EVERY PLAYER
By sunrise, a fleet of limited-edition Tesla Cybertrucks rolled into the Fever’s training facility — each one customized with the team’s logo, neon yellow underglow, and a special paint job in Fever’s iconic red, black, and gold.
A note attached to every vehicle read:
“For the fighters. From Elon.”
Sources confirmed that each player and coach received their own personalized vehicle — a model that hasn’t even hit public release yet.
Elon Musk: “They play like rockets. They deserve one.”
In a quick statement through a Tesla spokesperson, Musk explained his reasoning:
“I admire teams that go all in. The Fever are young, fierce, and relentless — exactly the kind of energy we build rockets with. I figured they deserve something just as bold.”
Caitlin Clark: “I thought it was a meme!”
Super-rookie Caitlin Clark shared her disbelief:
“I saw Elon’s tweet and laughed… I thought it was a fan edit. Then boom — the next morning we walk out and there’s a Tesla army waiting for us. It’s wild!”
The Internet Explodes: “Fever Just Won the Season… and the Solar System”
Social media reactions came fast and furious:
- “Musk just made Fever the most powerful WNBA team… and the most electric.”
- “Do I need to learn basketball now?? Fever tryouts when??”
- “If they win the championship, he’s sending them to Mars.”
The hashtag #FeverTruck trended #2 worldwide by noon, only behind “Teresa Giudice outfit.”
But Wait — There’s More: Fever to Visit SpaceX HQ
Alongside the futuristic trucks, Musk also included VIP invitations for the entire team to visit SpaceX headquarters in Texas, with front-row seats to an upcoming Starship rocket test launch.
An anonymous player commented:
“I came here to play basketball, not ride Cybertrucks and watch rockets take off. But I’m not complaining.”
From Court to Cosmos: Indiana Fever Is Having a Moment
The Fever’s on-court success this season has already drawn massive attention, but this surreal gesture from one of the world’s most high-profile innovators just sent them into another orbit — literally and figuratively.
This is more than just a celebrity moment. It’s a cultural crossover between tech and sport, and it’s pushing the WNBA further into the global spotlight.
When basketball meets billionaires, the sky isn’t the limit — it’s just the beginning.
Editor’s note: This article is fictional and for entertainment purposes only. As of August 2025, Elon Musk has not publicly gifted Cybertrucks to any WNBA team — yet.
