Similarly, last month the 43-year-old called out the South African billionaire and Tesla founder Elon Musk, for the company’s no spare tire policy. Shields took to Twitter and explained the situation.
The former UFC championship contender claimed in a tweet that he missed his flight because his Tesla didn’t have a spare tire and he had a flat tire. This, however, was not it. The Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu representative continued his mockery of the company, with more tweets.

Additionally, Shields posted a screenshot of a blog post that displayed various tire costs. Along with having to wait more than three hours on the freeway, the incident cost him more than $100, he claimed. However, the former MMA fighter has not yet received a response from the Tesla founder.
