🔥5 minutes ago: Coco Gauff bluntly refused to advertise Tesla of Elon Musk on the shirt during the Roland Garros Awards – she declared definitely “Elon Musk do not turn me into a sporty tool!” Making billionaire not speechless and shocking global media.

In a dramatic and unexpected moment that stunned the sports and business world alike, tennis sensation Coco Gauff made headlines at the 2025 Roland Garros Awards Ceremony by publicly rejecting a major sponsorship move from billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk and his electric vehicle empire, Tesla.

According to multiple sources and eyewitnesses, just five minutes before stepping onto the podium to receive her runner-up trophy, Gauff was presented with a last-minute request by event organizers: wear a customized jacket featuring the Tesla logo, marking what would have been a surprise promotional partnership revealed live during the televised ceremony.

However, Coco Gauff didn’t flinch. In front of the backstage crew, sponsors, and Musk’s personal PR team, the 21-year-old tennis star calmly — but firmly — refused.

Elon Musk has yet to release an official statement. Sources close to Tesla say the sponsorship idea was meant to be a “surprise brand integration,” not a contractually obligated deal. Still, many questioned the ethics of last-minute corporate pushes at high-profile athlete moments, especially those meant to celebrate personal achievement.

Gauff’s representatives later confirmed she had been approached with a lucrative offer days before the final, which she declined. “It’s not about money,” Gauff stated in a post-ceremony interview. “It’s about staying true to myself and what I believe this sport should represent.”

As the tennis world reflects on her extraordinary performance on the court, the world is now also talking about the moment she made history off it — not with a racket, but with her voice.
