On their New Heights podcast, the Kelces threw some shade at Musk with their signature blend of humor and grit.
Jason Kelce kicked things off with a jab: “A little nervous, because there’s a lot of stuff out there that Cyber Truck short circuits going through car washes.
I don’t know if you saw that.” Clearly, Jason’s not buying the Cyber Truck hype. Travis, not missing a beat, shot back: “I don’t read on the Cyber Truck news.
Why’s that?” This shows the Chiefs tight end’s playful indifference to the truck’s woes, setting up Jason’s deeper dive into the truck’s mishaps.
The former Eagles center then provided more context: “I think it’s like they didn’t seal something properly or something like that, but it did rain once, and the car door kept opening when I parked it until it dried.” Travis, ever the skeptic, quipped, “They had to rush them out? I took them like three extra summers to figure it out.” He’s teasing the idea that the problems took much longer to fix than the quick fixes Musk suggested.
The Kelces’ playful ribbing is a perfect counter to Musk’s bizarre reaction to Taylor Swift’s political endorsement. Swift recently threw her weight behind Vice President Kamala Harris, taking a stand against misinformation and urging her massive fanbase to vote. In a twist of drama fit for a headline, Musk, ever the provocateur, responded with an offer that many found both bizarre and inappropriate. On X, the conservative political activist and businessman posted: “Fine Taylor, you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.”
For context, Musk has previously fueled fears about “population collapse,” despite his own busy personal life (he has 12 known children). His offbeat comment came after the pop singer’s sharp rebuttal of AI-generated images falsely suggesting her support for Trump. Musk’s comment, which garnered 50k likes and nearly 10k replies, was seen by many as an over-the-top reaction to Swift’s political stance.
As for the Kelces? They’ve made it clear that they’re not afraid to dive into the fray, blending their NFL swagger with some sharp-witted commentary. Meanwhile, Travis Kelce’s dad got caught in the crossfire—he’s been banned from Musk’s X.
Travis Kelce’s dad’s X Ban: lifetime exile and social media confusion
Ed Kelce’s officially been 86’d from X—and he’s not thrilled about it. In a Facebook post, Ed revealed he’s been handed a lifetime ban from Elon Musk’s platform, and he’s a bit baffled by the whole situation.
Ed’s post on Facebook shared a Newsmax article claiming Houthi arms dealers are peddling weapons on X. In the post, Ed mentioned his ban for a “generic ‘Terms Of Service’ violation.” He clarified that he wasn’t banned because of this specific post but used it to highlight what he sees as the platform’s hypocrisy. According to Kelce’s dad, the ban might be tied to a violation that occurred when he wasn’t actively using his account, possibly linked to a post resulting from a hack.
The situation’s a bit murky, and Ed’s frustration’s palpable. He feels a lifetimeban iss overkill and unjust, especially since Musk’s platform’s been publicly pro-free speech. Still, the businessman’s tenure at X has seen its share of content controversies, including high-profile clashes with figures like Don Lemon, who claimed his X deal was terminated over tough interview questions.
As Ed puts it, he’s now putting the “X” in “ex-user.” Whether or not X will clarify the ban remains to be seen, but for now, Ed Kelce’s riding the sidelines of social media.
