World's richest billionaire Elon Musk has encouraged Novak Djokovic to communicate directly with the public rather than through media, following a disrespectful mockery directed at him during an interview at the Australian Open.

At the end of his match against Jiri Lehecka in the round of 16 of the 2025 Australian Open, Novak Djokovic skipped the traditional interview with Jim Courier for Channel 9. The former world No.1 had some problems with the Australian crowd during the challenge against the Czech player, but that was not the reason for his strange choice.
