John Cena’s Instagram post sparks backlash from fans
Elon Musk recently made headlines after becoming the world’s first trillionaire. The achievement further boosted his status as the world’s richest person. The news also caught the attention of John Cena. The 17-time WWE World Champion reacted in his usual way, sharing an image without a caption. Cena uploaded a photo of Musk on Instagram, seemingly acknowledging the historic milestone.
The post quickly attracted criticism in the comments section. Several fans questioned Cena’s decision to spotlight Musk and some fans openly expressed disappointment with the WWE star. While Cena remains one of wrestling’s most popular names, this is one of those rare moments where fans have criticized him rather heavily on social media.
“John Cena wtf,” one fan wrote.
“Yeah this is not it,” wrote another.
Many others questioned Cena posting it in the first place, with some comments asking him to delete it.
John Cena has said on multiple occasions that his Instagram posts are intentionally vague and meant to be up for interpretation. He even teased why he smiled while tapping out during his retirement match on the app. However, it’s clear that this one was interpreted as Cena supporting Musk, whether he actually is or not.
