In what many are calling the greatest World Cup Final in history, Argentina defeated France today on penalty kicks.
The Athletic reports:
Lionel Messi has led Argentina to World Cup glory after the most thrilling final in the 92-year history of the tournament.
Argentina took the lead through Messi and Angel Di Maria, only for Kylian Mbappe to score a late brace. Messi restored Argentina’s lead in extra time, but Mbappe again hit back for France, completing his hat-trick and taking the game to a penalty shootout.
Argentina won the shootout 4-2, to claim the World Cup and victory in one of the sport’s all-time great games.
Shortly after the game was over, a photo began circulating online showing Twitter CEO Elon Musk and former Trump administration senior adviser Jared Kushner standing together in a private box at the stadium in Qatar, which led this posting:
What in the hell is going on there? Is Jared trying to line up another couple of billion bucks from Qatar, much the same as he did with the Saudis right after the Trump administration ended?
And why is Musk at the World Cup? Granted, he’s a billionaire and can attend any sporting event on the planet, but is he really there to try and shore up his Twitter investment? After all, a report from the Wall Street Journal suggests that Musk is desperate to sell more shares in the social media platform because he no longer has the cash on hand he needs to pay the bills for rent on office space and vendors who supply the company.
Since neither Kushner or Musk was kind enough to explain the reason for the simultaneous appearance at the World Cup, it seems only fair to let social media figure it out.
Jared and Elon make a nice couple, especially when they’re on the hunt for blood money.
