In a jaw-dropping moment that left the sports world stunned, Elon Musk used a live appearance on the popular talk show What Time Does to launch a scathing attack on Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner. Musk, who was on the show to discuss tech innovation and AI, abruptly shifted the conversation to tennis, accusing Sinner of “ruining the sport” and demanding severe action from the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA).
“I’m not holding back anymore,” Musk said during the broadcast. “A guilty is ruining tennis. Jannik Sinner deserves a four-year disqualification minimum. Frankly, I’d go as far as a life ban.”
The billionaire entrepreneur did not specify what prompted his explosive remarks, but his tone suggested deep frustration and a belief that Sinner had committed a grave violation of tennis ethics. As of now, no official charges or sanctions have been confirmed against Sinner by the ITIA, making Musk’s comments even more controversial and bewildering.
Social media exploded immediately following the segment, with fans and commentators alike expressing shock at Musk’s allegations. Some defended Sinner, saying Musk’s comments were baseless and damaging, while others called on the ITIA to respond to the allegations—if only to clear the air.
The ITIA has yet to release a statement, and Jannik Sinner’s camp has remained silent, possibly consulting legal counsel in response to the defamation. If Musk’s claims are proven unfounded, this could escalate into a high-profile legal battle between one of the world’s richest men and one of tennis’s brightest young stars.
As this drama continues to unfold, tennis fans are left wondering: is there something more behind Musk’s outburst, or is this just another controversial moment from the unpredictable techmogul?
