In a heartwarming surprise that’s lighting up both the sports and tech worlds, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has decided to gift rising figure skating star Alysa Liu a brand-new Tesla following her incredible win at the World Figure Skating Championship.

Liu made history this week by becoming the first American woman in 19 years to win the prestigious title, ending a nearly two-decade-long drought for Team USA. At just 19 years old, Liu’s graceful and powerful performance has not only earned her a gold medal—but now also a set of sleek electric wheels.

A Gift From Musk

Known for his spontaneous and often headline-making gestures, Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the news:

“Massive congrats to Alysa Liu for her historic win! True excellence deserves recognition. Enjoy your new Tesla—well earned!”

The tweet quickly went viral, with fans praising Musk for supporting a young athlete who has dedicated her life to perfecting her craft.

A Champion On and Off the Ice

Alysa Liu’s victory marks a major moment in American figure skating. The last time an American woman stood at the top of the podium was Michelle Kwan in 2006. Liu’s gold medal has inspired a new generation of skaters, and her poise and humility have earned her fans around the globe.

In response to Musk’s gift, Liu tweeted:

“Wow! Thank you @elonmusk! This means so much to me. I’ve always admired Tesla and never imagined this!”

An Iconic Moment for Sports and Tech

This fusion of athletic triumph and high-tech generosity is being hailed as one of the most memorable moments of the year. Musk, whose companies like Tesla and SpaceX often dominate headlines in the tech world, is no stranger to celebrating excellence—and Liu’s win was the perfect occasion.

Whether she’s spinning on ice or cruising in her new Tesla, Alysa Liu is clearly on a winning streak—and now she has the keys to prove it.
