Elon Musk spent the early afternoon of this Sunday at the Usail Stadium, in Qatar, where France and Argentina played in the World Cup final. The South African billionaire, owner of Tesla and CEO of Twitter, used his social network to announce his presence. “At the World Cup now,” he wrote in the caption of a video recorded at the opening ceremony.
Musk seemed willing to put into practice what he asked his followers hours before: “Follow the World Cup on Twitter”. Argentina’s first goal was then transmitted by him, with excitement. “What a great goal from Argentina!”, He posted, with the country’s flags.

Apparently oblivious to this discussion, Musk celebrated the record of tweets in France’s equalizing goal: 24,400 per second. “A record!”, cheered the CEO of Twitter, which has 120 million followers.
