UFC fighter delivers foul-mouthed rant about Elon Musk despite his links to Dana White and Donald Trump
UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell followed up his weekend win with a foul-mouthed rant about Elon Musk – despite his close relationship with Dana White.
The outspoken featherweight had just defeated Brazil’s Kron Gracie at UFC 310 in Las Vegas when he bumped into Musk at his post-fight press conference and called the tech billionaire and X-chief a “rat b*****d.”
“Time will always reveal a man’s true character, and when you put that man in a position of power, his true character will be revealed,” Mitchell told reporters about Musk.
“Let’s put it this way: He’s got all the money in this country – he’s the richest man in the country – and he’s wasting it on damn missiles, man.
“Think about it, dude. He could help people with that money, but he doesn’t care about you. He has all the money in the world to help you. It would cost him a cent and you would never have to work again.’
Mitchell – who is known for sharing controversial opinions, including that the Earth is flat and that gravity does not exist – expressed his support for Donald Trump despite his rant about Musk.

Musk maintains a close relationship with UFC CEO Dana White and newly elected President Donald Trump
But Mitchell took the X founder to task, calling him a ‘rat b*****d’ after his victory on Saturday
Trump also maintains a close relationship with UFC president White, with the MMA promotion becoming his sporting home in recent years.
The president-elect attended a show at Madison Square Garden last month with trusted ally Musk by his side, but Mitchell is not a fan of the South African businessman despite his support for Trump.
“He doesn’t care about you though,” he continued about Musk. “He wants to waste it on rockets and waste it on all these cars that suck.
“Time will reveal that man’s character, and the more he gets into the spotlight, you can’t fake it forever. His character will be revealed.
‘And mark my words, it will be clear that he is a damn rat. You know, if I had all that money, I’d like to think I’d help people more than he does.”
Both White and Musk were pictured alongside Trump as he cruised to victory on election night last month.
After UFC 310 this weekend, White jumped to Musk’s defense after the Tesla CEO told sponsors to “go f*** yourself” following a mass exodus of advertisers from his social media platform X.
“There are more people than just me and Elon who feel that way now,” the UFC president said. “It’s like just because you sponsor us doesn’t mean you run this company, and you certainly don’t tell me what to do. That’s a fact. That’s never going to happen.’
