Fellow Trump backer and former NFL star Antonio Brown alleged that the network deliberately avoided Musk during his broadcast as a form of media censorship against Trump’s campaign.
“NBC has chosen not to show @elonmusk during the Cowboys vs Steelers game,” the former wide receiver claimed on Musk’s own social media platform.

ABC News was accused last month of deliberately limiting coverage of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a high-profile college football game
The former president, 78, attended the game – which the Crimson Tide ultimately won – on September 28, despite major concerns about security measures following two assassination attempts.
Social media users took to X to blast ABC, claiming the network deliberately avoided showing Trump and only put him on screen for six seconds.
Critics claimed the network showed “complete bias” and that other images online were damning for ABC. One of the scenes that ABC did not air in its coverage was Trump receiving a triumphant hero’s welcome, with tens of thousands cheering the former president as he appeared on the big screen in the stadium.
Other footage showed the Republican candidate arriving to a wild reception by college students, tossing them boxes of popcorn and waving to the crowd.
