EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY: An account on Elon Musk's social network X, bearing the username @DaddyZaslav and spoofing Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav, was banned after making an eerily accurate prediction about Aaron Rodgers suffering a season-ending injury.
The user @DaddyZaslav posted a chilling prediction at 6.01 pm, approximately two hours before the "Monday Night Football" kickoff, stating, "Aaron Rodgers is going to tear his Achilles on a rain drenched MetLife turf in 2.5 hours.”
Aaron Rodgers' injury
Aaron Rodgers, the 39-year-old quarterback for the New York Jets, has undergone a season-ending surgery for a torn left Achilles tendon.
After the bizarre prediction made by Daddy Zaslav, by 8.30 pm, Aaron Rodgers had been carted off the field with an ankle injury following a sack on the fourth offensive play, confirming the prediction.
The post had garnered over 11 million views before it was removed at some point on Tuesday. However, X (formerly Twitter) did not provide a specific reason for suspending the account.
How did Aaron Rodgers tear his Achilles tendon?
In his debut game with the New York Jets on the night of September 11, Aaron Rodgers endured a significant injury less than four minutes into the game.
The injury occurred when he was tackled by the Buffalo Bills' Leonard Floyd, causing him to fall to the ground with his left leg affected.
The eerie prediction has caused concern among fans, with some asking for an FBI investigation.
One user commented, "NFL, FBI, NASA - Perhaps Predictive programming for the full exposure/disclosure of these 3 agencies and their fraudulent affairs? Aaron Rodgers felt like a submission ritual by the NFL- 11:19 on 33yrd line, the game ends 22-15. Symbolism for sure...but was it Inverted???"
Another wrote, "Doesn't look like an Achilles injury at all. I know as much about football as anybody ever, and this doesn't look like what they are saying at all. Was Aaron Rodgers forced to take a dive by sinister people like the ones in the FBI?"
RoBo Tesla's tweet, which shared David Zaslav's uncanny prediction, succinctly captured the sense of disbelief surrounding the situation: "He made it 4 plays. 4. And this guy predicted it!!"
Reactions to this unexpected turn of events have ranged from accusations of the NFL being scripted to outright calls for an FBI investigation.
What does Aaron Rodgers' injury mean for Packers?
Aaron Rodgers’ injury will have significant ramifications for his former team, the Green Bay Packers, including losing a first-round draft pick.
Nevertheless, fans are worried about his injury and equally surprised by the prediction.
One said, "Nah he just has the NFL script," referring to Zaslav. Another asked, "Dang, why is that guy’s account suspended now?"
The suspension of the @DaddyZaslav account sparked speculation among social media users.
Many users believed that the suspension may have been related to the account holder's impolite responses to others who were making fun of Aaron Rodgers' early exit from the game.
One user said, "I think he got suspended bc if you looked at his page last night, he went crazy on people tweets who were making fun of Rodgers. Telling them to off themselves and such. 8 think that was the reason."
