Billionaire Elon Musk has celebrated Nick Bosa’s willingness to pay an NFL fine over his recent political stunt.
The 49ers star is being lauded by conservatives after flashing his MAGA hat during a postgame interview following a win over the Dallas Cowboys late last month. The NFL has since hit him with a fine of $11,255, but Bosa has declared it “was well worth it,” given the results of the recent electoral process.
The X owner is among the many out there who have praised the defensive end for the controversial gesture, taking to said platform to celebrate it with a fire and American flag emoji.

Elon Musk Was One Of Donald Trump’s Biggest Contributors
Elon Musk was one of Donald Trump’s biggest supporters in the buildup to last week’s election and is believed to have spent at least $130 million to fund the President elect’s campaign following his assassination attempt, helping him gain a foothold in Pennsylvania.
Bosa, meanwhile, has doubled down on his support following the fine. He performed the Trump dance after making a sack against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

“I don’t think my position on speaking about it is going to change,” he said after last week’s result. “Clearly, the nation spoke and we got what we got.”
The NFL chose to fine the player because he broke Rule 5, Section 4, Article 8 of the rulebook, which prohibits players from displaying personal messages in stadiums or on television without approval.
