Elon Musk, the Tesla and Twitter CEO, appeared in Qatar on Sunday just ahead of the World Cup final before Argentina and France.
Qatari TV broadcaster beIN Sports caught Musk entering Lusail Stadium to see whether Lionel Messi will be able to wrap up his first World Cup title or Kylian Mbappe capture his second World Cup championship. Musk also tweeted the live FOX broadcast of the World Cup.

Musk’s companies SpaceX and Starlink reportedly partnered with Qatar Airways to send two World Cup balls to space and back. Once back on Earth, the balls were sent to Qatar on Qatar Airways and arrived at Hamad International Airport.
The World Cup will attract global attention but the spotlight has been on Musk as well. He recently suspended a handful of journalists for allegedly violating the company’s doxxing policy. He lifted the suspensions following a 24-hour poll, which asked whether the accounts should be restored “now” or “in 7 days.”

Musk was scrutinized for the suspensions.
The company was also put back into the spotlight with the latest Twitter Files release. The sixth part of the series revealed the FBI’s ties to the tech giant, “as if it were a subsidiary.”

Elon Musk and Jared Kushner were spotted together during the World Cup Final in Qatar on Sunday.
The new Twitter CEO and the former Trump White House advisor were spotted sitting next to each other at the 2022 World Cup Final in Lusail City, Qatar between France and Argentina. Argentina won the match on penalties kicks after a 3-3 draw. The match was the final match that Lionel Messi, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest forwards of all time, will play representing Argentina, as well as his first World Cup win.
Musk live-tweeted during the match, regularly posting when either team scored a goal. Musk said on Twitter that the users were posting “24,000 tweets per second” when France scored its third goal. Which he claimed is “the highest” amount “ever for a World Cup.”
Twitter announced on Sunday that it will now ban “free promotion of certain social media platforms” on the app. The company said in its announcement that posting links or usernames to Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr, and Post is now restricted.
