Brett Favre, the legendary NFL quarterback, has found himself at the center of a heated social media storm. A recent tweet by Favre has sparked a wave of criticism and backlash, particularly from Twitter user Brandon Bradford.

In the tweet, Brett Favre expressed his support for Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, stating, "I drive a Ford a truck so don’t know much about the space age electric cars, but sure glad @elonmusk took over Twitter to allow free speech on this platform." The tweet, dated August 30, was meant to praise Musk's stance on free speech.

However, Brandon Bradford responded with a scathing reply that has garnered significant attention. Bradford's tweet read, "You're that rich guy that stole from Welfare right?" This response has since exploded on social media, accumulating 10,000 retweets, 81,000 likes, and 2.5 million views within 19 hours.

The context behind Bradford's accusation is rooted in previous allegations against Brett Favre. Reports have surfaced accusing Favre of misappropriating welfare funds, a claim that has severely tarnished his public image. The tweet from Bradford serves as a stark reminder of these allegations, further fueling public outrage.

The controversy has led to a flurry of comments from other Twitter users. Some have criticized Favre for his support of Elon Musk, with one user stating, "Only very dumb people think Elon is smart, so this checks out." Others have brought up past controversies involving Favre, including accusations of sending unsolicited explicit photos.

This incident has highlighted the complex and often contentious nature of social media interactions, especially when public figures like Brett Favre are involved. The backlash against Favre is a testament to the power of social media in holding individuals accountable for their actions.

As the debate continues to rage on Twitter, it remains to be seen how Brett Favre will respond to the mounting criticism and whether this controversy will have lasting impacts on his reputation.

Only very dumb people think Elon is smart, so this checks out.

Musk had no problem with censorship requests from authoritarian countries like India or Turkey, citing the need to comply with local laws, it’s only when left-leaning governments call it becomes a problem.

Let's also not forget about that time Brett Favre was sued for sending unwanted d*** pics. Just in case the stealing from welfare wasn't enough to make him an a******.

F*** Brett farve he's a giant p************. He thinks he's part of the working man crowd, but getting hit in the head repeatedly made him even stupider than he was. Which is a feat in itself. They say getting money just amplifies who you are and it's now why he's been exposed as the p************ he's always been.
