“A true friend of me.”
The post — which featured a black-and-white photo of Hogan doing his signature pose alongside a SpaceX rocket — sent fans into a frenzy, with many believing the legendary wrestler had passed away.
But just hours later, Hulk Hogan himself broke the silence, tweeting:
“I’m not dead, brother. But thanks for the kind words!”

Social media exploded. Within minutes, hashtags like , , and were trending globally.
Memes, tributes, and jokes began circulating, some praising Musk’s gesture, others poking fun at the “accidental funeral.”
One user wrote:
“Elon Musk just eulogized a living legend. Peak 2025.”
Another added:
“Can I get Elon to pay my bills if I pretend to be dead too?”
🤝 A (Still Living) Friendship
Despite the mix-up, Hogan responded warmly, calling Musk “a wild genius” and confirming that the two have had “some deep convos about tech, toughness, and Tesla.”
Insiders say the duo first connected at a charity event in Miami, where Musk was reportedly “blown away” by Hogan’s “alpha aura and top-rope philosophy.”
