Controversial former NFL star Antonio Brown has named Donald Trump and Elon Musk as his 'free speech' winners of the year in a bizarre tribute on social media. Brown, who joined Trump on his election campaign trail earlier this year, has become known for his unusual antics online since playing his final game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022.
And heading into 2025, the former wide receiver has gone viral once again with his unofficial 'Cracker of the Year' awards on X. After handing out prizes to the likes of Joe Rogan (Podcast Episode of the Year) and Shane Gillis (Funniest Cracker of the Year), Brown saved his last award on New Year's Eve for Trump and Musk.
'Last day of the yr & last award of the yr. This is a special one bc it’s what this platform stands for,' he wrote. 'It’s what @elonmusk gave back to us when he bought @X - Free Speech!'. Former NFL star Antonio Brown has posted a bizarre tribute to Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
