With some suggesting the weight of the free world is on the shoulders on Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s attempt to buy Twitter, NFL quarterback Tom Brady has equally high hopes for the billionaire.
Amid all the hoopla — and meltdown on the left — over Musk’s $43 billion takeover bid, Brady took to Twitter with a big ask.
“If you buy twitter can you delete the combine photo? @elonmusk,” he tweeted.

Now 44 years old and still playing at an elite level, as insane as that is, there’s little dispute that Brady is the greatest QB to ever play the game. He has won SEVEN Super Bowls, the most by any player in NFL history.
Yet, the GOAT is apparently still bothered by the infamous photo of him at the 2000 NFL Scouting Combine, where a scrawny young Brady is posing shirtless — either that, or he has a great sense of humor.
The photo is shared below by the left-leaning sports network ESPN:

Of course, Musk may be a little busy at the moment, as he shared in a letter to Twitter’s Chairman of the Board on Wednesday that he wants to take the platform private.
“I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy,” he explained.
“However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form,” Musk continued. “Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.”
As for Brady, the rest of the league breathed a sigh of relief when he retired at the end of last season, only to be rudely awakened when he decided to come back for another year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Social media users had plenty of fun with Brady’s tweet… here’s a quick sampling of responses from Twitter:
