Travis Kelce’s Political Jab on New Heights Podcast Ignites Debate Over Tesla’s Rising Status

March 14, 2025 – Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, known more for his on-field heroics and off-field charm than political commentary, ventured into uncharted territory during the latest episode of his popular New Heights podcast, co-hosted with his brother Jason Kelce. The tight end’s rare political remark came in response to President Donald Trump’s recent pledge to classify violence against Tesla—headed by Trump ally Elon Musk—as domestic terrorism, a move that has sparked widespread discussion about corporate influence in the new administration.

During the episode, recorded earlier this week and released on Wednesday, Travis addressed Trump’s vow, which was made alongside Musk at a White House event on March 11. Trump had showcased a fleet of Tesla vehicles, announcing plans to purchase a red Model S for White House staff while warning that “perpetrators [of violence against Tesla] will go through hell.” The president’s statement was a clear nod to Musk, who has emerged as a pivotal figure in Trump’s administration through his leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Kelce, typically reserved about political matters, didn’t hold back. “Yes, we are close to it,” he said, his tone carrying a mix of incredulity and sarcasm. “We are close to Tesla having more rights than women.” The comment, delivered amidst the brothers’ usual banter, landed like a bombshell, drawing immediate attention from fans, pundits, and political observers alike.

A Broader Context: Tesla, Trump, and Musk

Kelce’s quip comes at a time when Tesla’s role in American politics has reached unprecedented heights. Trump’s Tuesday announcement followed weeks of “Tesla Takedown” protests, where activists have targeted dealerships to voice displeasure over Musk’s influence in slashing federal programs and workforce cuts under DOGE. Labeling such acts as domestic terrorism—a classification typically reserved for violent threats against civilians or governments—signals a significant escalation in how the administration views dissent against Musk’s empire.

Musk, the world’s richest person and a vocal Trump supporter during the 2024 campaign, has seen Tesla’s fortunes intertwine with the president’s agenda. At the White House event, he promised to double Tesla’s U.S. production within two years, citing Trump’s “great policies” as a catalyst. Yet, the company’s stock has tumbled since December, reflecting declining sales and investor concerns over Musk’s divided attention between Tesla and his political duties.

For Kelce, whose girlfriend Taylor Swift famously clashed with Trump and Musk over her 2024 endorsement of Kamala Harris, the remark may hint at a personal stake in the debate. Swift’s endorsement drew a bizarre response from Musk—“I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life”—and Trump’s subsequent “I hate Taylor Swift” post on Truth Social. While Kelce has largely stayed mum on that drama, his New Heights comment suggests he’s been paying attention.

Reactions Pour In

The podcast clip quickly went viral, with social media split along predictable lines. Supporters of Kelce and Swift hailed the remark as a clever critique of corporate overreach. “Travis just said what we’re all thinking,” one X user wrote. “Tesla’s getting more protection than half the population.” Critics, however, accused the NFL star of overstepping. “Stick to football, Kelce,” a Trump supporter replied. “Tesla’s a job creator—women’s rights aren’t under attack.”

Jason Kelce, ever the foil to his brother, attempted to steer the conversation back to lighter fare, joking, “I don’t know, Trav, my Cybertruck’s been pretty good to me—except when it short-circuits in the rain.” The brothers’ earlier discussions of Tesla’s Cybertruck, including Travis calling it “sweet” in a September 2024 episode, added an ironic twist to his latest jab.

Political analysts see the comment as a flashpoint in a broader cultural clash. “Kelce’s tapping into a sentiment that’s been simmering,” said Dr. Emily Hart, a political science professor at Georgetown University. “Trump’s framing of Tesla as a patriotic symbol, combined with Musk’s outsized role, raises questions about where power really lies—corporations or citizens.”

Tesla’s Rights vs. Women’s Rights?

Kelce’s specific reference to women’s rights may reflect ongoing tensions in Trump’s second term. Policies like the rollback of federal support for reproductive health programs—part of Musk’s DOGE cuts—have fueled protests from women’s advocacy groups. Meanwhile, Tesla’s legal protections under Trump’s terrorism vow could grant the company unique leverage, from heightened law enforcement responses to potential tax incentives tied to “national security.”

The White House declined to comment directly on Kelce’s remark, but a spokesperson reiterated Trump’s stance: “The president supports American innovation and won’t let radical left lunatics harm a great company like Tesla.” Musk, active as ever on X, posted a cryptic response Thursday night: “Rights are earned, not given—Tesla’s just better at the game.”

What’s Next for Kelce and the Conversation

As the Chiefs prepare for their next game, Travis Kelce’s foray into politics seems unlikely to become a regular feature on New Heights. Yet, with the podcast’s massive audience—bolstered by his high-profile romance with Swift—the remark ensures he’ll remain a figure in the cultural crosshairs.

For now, the debate rages on: Is Tesla’s ascent a triumph of American ingenuity or a sign of skewed priorities? Kelce’s quip, however offhand, has added fuel to a fire that shows no signs of burning out.
