WNBA Star Tells Elon Musk To Leave The United States

It's safe to say that not everyone in the WNBA is a big fan of Elon Musk.
The world's richest man has become a big-time supporter of Donald Trump. Musk, who reportedly donated close to $300 million to Trump and other Republican campaigns, has become very involved in the Republican Party. He's expected to play a pretty big role in Trump's second term as president, which begins in January 2025.
Musk seemed to oppose a recent bill, which stop gapped a government shutdown. The bill ended up passing on Dec. 21.
WNBA star Natasha Cloud, who used to play in Washington, D.C., is not a fan of Musk.
"So when y'all gone tell Elon to go back to Africa?" she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Im so glad ALL these billionaires have no idea how the 3 branches of government work….or how a bill gets passed into law. Shoutout to the 38 Republicans who shot the bill down in the House while being threatened & blackmailed."
So when y'all gone tell Elon to go back to Africa?

Cloud, who now plays for the Phoenix Mercury, has not be a big fan of Donald Trump, either. The 32-year-old guard fired off some tweets about Trump and his win.
"The privilege of celebrating rn is exactly what's wrong with us as people," she wrote following his defeat of Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. "I am truly worried about my fundamental human rights."
"Racism, misogyny, and hatred of women are so deeply rooted into everything that is America. Until we fix the roots…it will never grow."
Cloud is coming off a 2024 WNBA season in which she averaged 11.5 points, 6.9 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game. It's probably safe to say that Donald Trump - and Elon Musk - won't be attending any major WNBA games anytime soon.
