Waited for the 5 commercials to play and didnt see one of them. Was there a comms out that they pulled them back or court ordered not to play them?

It was a rumor. Elon never said he was running ads during the game.

This may be the source of the psyop, troll, or whatever you call it. A video of Elon touting the upcoming Super Bowl commercials. Only it is an AI generated video. Want proof? Click the button with three dots in it and then click "Description"
"How this content was made Altered or synthetic content Sound or visuals were significantly edited or digitally generated. "
I can see how the rumor spread after watching that AI generated video. Without the rumor of Elon running ads, it may have been the least watched Super Bowl in history!
I thought that he confirmed buying 5 commercial slots. Here is the details. I get the "reported" and I thought this was published on X and other places. I will have to go back and look.
Elon Musk's Reported Super Bowl Plans: A Game-Changer in Advertising

Elon Musk has reportedly spent a staggering $40 million on Super Bowl ads to highlight the federal government’s overly wasteful spending habits. The tech mogul's ad campaign is expected to dominate the airwaves on Sunday, driving attention to exposing the government waste discovered by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) through USAID.

The DOGE X Site is fantastic for reviewing accomplishments. Just wanted more exposure to the mainstream NPC's

Elon never confirmed it. He´reportedly’ spent….isn't confirmation. I hoped for it too.
I saw a T-Mobile powered by Starlink commercial. That was it. I must have missed the others.
That's the only Superbowl ad I saw even remotely related to Musk, and I sat thru the whole stupid game ENTIRELY to catch the DOGE ads exposing USAID, etc. I'm really pissed that I wasted my whole evening waiting for something that never happened.
A Q friend told me that Musk himself posted on X about his $40M Superbowl ad buy, but I couldn't confirm that myself since I don't have an X acct. (therefore can't scroll thru anyone's full X post list).
That was a really cool edition and a new frontier. Backpacking in the wilderness will change for me now.
If Elon wanted to get a message out he has a 44 Billion dollar company he can use lol
Well...I suppose we can't really expect Elon to use his own money so I am not too disappointed. But that was sure a boring few hours spent! LOL!
