No cameras. No press team. No tweets. Just Elon Musk, visibly shaken, eyes red, and allegedly smelling of whiskey, walking slowly into the memorial hall where wrestling legend Hulk Hogan lay in rest.

Witnesses at the private ceremony in Clearwater, Florida, were shocked to see the world’s most powerful tech billionaire arrive unexpectedly — but what truly stunned the room was his raw display of grief.

“He sat in the back for a while… just silent. Then he stood up, walked to the casket… and started crying,” one mourner whispered. “He was clearly emotional — maybe even a little drunk. But what he said? None of us expected that.”

With a trembling voice, Musk stepped up to the microphone and delivered a short, heart-wrenching eulogy that left the room in stunned silence:

“I watched him as a boy and saw not just a wrestler, but a symbol of strength, courage, and rebellion. Hulk didn’t just fight in the ring… he fought for belief, for values, for heart. Without that spirit — I don’t think SpaceX would exist.”

Musk reportedly ended his tribute with tears rolling down his cheeks, placing a small golden lightning bolt pin on the casket — a rumored nod to his childhood admiration for Hogan’s larger-than-life persona.

Social media has since exploded with speculation, with fans posting old photos of Musk wearing Hulk Hogan merchandise and appearing ringside at past WWE events.

Some say his emotional state and possible intoxication only made his tribute more human.

“Elon didn’t show up as a billionaire,” said one attendee. “He showed up as a broken fan, saying goodbye to his hero.”

As the world says farewell to Hulk Hogan, few moments will be remembered more than the image of Elon Musk, eyes red, voice cracking, whispering one last thank you to the legend who helped shape his dream.
