Stefanos Tsitsipas joked about a Tesla cybertruck going up in flames just outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Greek poked fun at Elon Musk over the car’s self-driving mode, tongue-in-cheek mistaking it for “self-destruction” mode.
Tsitsipas struggled with consistent results last year, dropping outside the year-end top 10 ATP rankings for the first time since 2019. The 26-year-old is looking to reverse his fortunes in 2025. His season-opening United Cup campaign ended on a mixed note as he went 1-1 in his singles matches.
Outside of tennis, Tsitsipas has also left an imprint on social media with his tweets lately. On Thursday (January 2), he poked fun at Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter) in light of a Tesla Cybertruck, which was first heralded by the $485 billion-worth businessman (per Celebrity Net Worth) in 2023, exploding outside a Las Vegas-based hotel belonging to the US President-elect Donald Trump. He tweeted:
“Elon wasn’t kidding about Tesla’s full self-destruction mode.”
Meanwhile, the explosion killed the driver inside the Tesla pick-up truck and injured seven bystanders in Las Vegas. The incident is currently also being investigated as a possible act of terrorism.
