“That would end Donald Trump”: Michael Jordan’s ex-teammate Etan Thomas asks Elon Musk to “reveal” how he “rigged the election”

On Thursday, NBA legend Michael Jordan’s ex-teammate Etan Thomas asked billionaire Elon Musk to reveal information on President Donald Trump amid their public spat. The two have engaged in an online battle, which has seen insults being hurled from both ends. Taking advantage of this fallout, Thomas urged Musk to reveal major information on Trump that could ‘end’ his regime.

The former Wizards center tweeted on Thursday (formerly Twitter), urging the SpaceX CEO to reveal dirt on the President. Musk was heavily involved in Trump’s election campaign and claimed to have been the reason behind his re-election.

Etan Thomas penned an open letter to Musk on X (formerly Twitter), encouraging the billionaire to spill the beans.

"Dear @elonmusk, Seeing you two feud has been very entertaining. We all knew #Trump was in the Epstein Files, and that’s why they haven’t been released, and we knew you got him re-elected. Now you should reveal how exactly you rigged the election for him to win. That would end Trump," he wrote.

This feud between the two billionaires first kicked off after President Trump expressed he was "disappointed" with Musk's response to his new centerpiece tax and spending bill. The latter, on the other hand, accused the President of being ungrateful, before claiming that without him, Trump would have lost the election.

Jordan's ex-teammate Etan Thomas, who spent two years with him in Washington, suggested that Musk reveal how he "rigged" the elections in favor of Trump, as the row between the two continues to grow. The former NBA player retired in 2011 and has since dabbled in various fields, including motivational speaking and authoring multiple books.

Etan Thomas calls out fans over "Nepotism" claims about LeBron and Bronny amid Jazz front office hire

Former Washington Wizards center Etan Thomas called out NBA fans for their "nepotism" claims directed at LeBron and Bronny James, following the Utah Jazz's latest front-office move. After Bronny's selection in the 2024 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers, many criticized the pick, claiming it was due to his father's influence.

However, Thomas, in a recent tweet, pointed to the recent hiring of Danny Ainge’s son by the Jazz, urging fans to show the same scrutiny toward them.

"Are the ppl who were jumping up and down screaming NEPOTISM with Lebron and his son Bronny doing the same thing with Danny Ainge and his son Austin ? Or is this different?" he wrote.

The Utah Jazz recently hired Austin Ainge as their President of Basketball Operations. Austin is the son of Danny Ainge, who is the CEO of basketball operations within the franchise.
