Shortly after Kelce’s post went viral, his account was deleted. While the exact reason behind the account deletion remains unclear, many speculate it was a direct consequence of his remarks about Musk. The incident has sparked a broader debate about freedom of speech on social media platforms, particularly when it involves high-profile individuals who hold opposing views.

Musk, who has a history of engaging in online disputes, responded indirectly, stating, “Social media should be a place for open dialogue, but we must also maintain a standard of respect.” While his comments did not directly reference Kelce, the timing and tone of the statement were seen as a veiled response to the incident.
