In a shocking and emotional turn of events, Liverpool FC and the football world are mourning the tragic loss of star forward Diogo Jota, who died in a horrific car accident while driving his Lamborghini Huracán. The incident, which occurred late last night on a rain-slicked road near Manchester, has sent shockwaves through the sports community.

Shortly after the news broke, Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX—and a well-known Liverpool FC supporter—made a stunning announcement: he will donate a fleet of Tesla vehicles to the Liverpool squad to ensure their safety during travel.

Musk’s Fiery Critique of Lamborghini – And the CEO’s Explosive Response

During an impromptu Twitter Spaces session, Musk expressed his grief over Jota’s passing but didn’t hold back in criticizing Lamborghini’s technology, suggesting that “older combustion-engine supercars lack the advanced safety features of modern EVs.”

“It’s 2025, and we still have athletes dying in cars that prioritize speed over safety. Tesla’s Autopilot and collision avoidance could have made a difference,” Musk said, sparking immediate backlash from Lamborghini fans and automotive purists.

But the real bombshell came when Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann responded in a since-deleted tweet:

“How dare you use a player’s death to promote your shitty cars? You have no respect. Go to hell, Musk.”

The comment sent social media into a frenzy, with fans and analysts divided. Some accused Musk of insensitivity, while others praised his push for safer vehicles.

Liverpool FC’s Reaction & Tesla Donation Details

Liverpool FC released an official statement honoring Jota’s legacy, calling him “a beloved player and an irreplaceable spirit in the dressing room.” The club also confirmed discussions with Musk about the Tesla donation, which will include customized Cybertrucks and Model X SUVs for team transport.

Meanwhile, the Lamborghini controversy continues to escalate, with Tesla supporters and Italian supercar loyalists clashing online. Automotive experts debate whether Musk’s claims hold merit, while FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) officials have reportedly opened discussions on mandatory safety tech upgrades for high-performance vehicles.

What’s Next?

• Funeral arrangements for Jota are expected to be held in Portugal, with Liverpool planning a memorial at Anfield.

• Lamborghini’s PR team is in damage control mode, while Tesla’s stock sees a minor surge.

• Elon Musk is rumored to be in talks with other football clubs about similar safety initiatives.

One thing is certain: this tragic event has ignited a global debate on sports, technology, and safety—one that will rage on long after the headlines fade.
