April 1, 2025 – In a move that has left fans and the business world in disbelief, WWE superstar Jimmy Uso shocked everyone by turning down a staggering $10 million offer from billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. The 39-year-old wrestler, one-half of the iconic Uso twins, made the announcement during a live interview on SmackDown, revealing his decision with a powerful message: “Keep it and use it for something that truly helps people!”
The offer from Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, reportedly came as part of a proposed collaboration to promote Musk’s latest venture—a high-profile entertainment project tied to his Neuralink technology. Sources say Musk, a known WWE fan, specifically sought out Jimmy Uso for his charisma and global appeal, envisioning him as the face of a campaign that would blend sports entertainment with cutting-edge innovation. The $10 million deal would have been one of the largest endorsement contracts ever offered to a WWE superstar, dwarfing even some of the biggest sponsorships in the company’s history.
But Jimmy Uso, known for his loyalty to his family and fans, had other priorities. Speaking to the WWE Universe in a packed arena in Miami, he explained his decision with heartfelt conviction. “Elon, I respect what you do, but I don’t need $10 million,” Uso said, as the crowd roared in support. “I’ve got everything I need right here with my family, my brother Jey, and the WWE Universe. Take that money and use it for something that truly helps people—build schools, feed kids, make the world better. That’s what matters.”
The moment quickly went viral, with #JimmyUso trending worldwide on X. Fans praised Uso’s selflessness, with one user writing, “Jimmy Uso just proved he’s a real one—turning down $10 million to focus on what’s right!” Others speculated on Musk’s reaction, with some hoping the billionaire would heed Uso’s advice and redirect the funds to charitable causes. Musk, known for his unpredictable social media presence, has yet to respond publicly, but sources close to him say he was “impressed” by Uso’s integrity.
Jimmy Uso’s decision comes at a time when he and his brother Jey are navigating their own paths in WWE, with Jimmy recently embroiled in a heated feud with Gunther following a brutal post-match attack. Despite the chaos in his professional life, Uso’s rejection of Musk’s offer has painted him as a man of principle, willing to put values over financial gain. As the wrestling world continues to buzz about his selfless act, Jimmy Uso has once again proven why he’s a beloved figure—not just in the ring, but in the hearts of fans everywhere.
