Texans DE J.J. Watt jokes with Elon Musk about the price of a Tesla solar panel

What makes Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt one of the best pass-rushers of his generation is timing. The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year just has a knack for making the right play at key times of the game.

Watt’s timing is also evident in his retorts and comebacks, which is what made him a compelling guest host on “Saturday Night Live” and also encouraged Fox executives to give him and his brothers a shot hosting “Ultimate Tag.”

The former 2011 first-round pick’s timing was on display Friday on Twitter. Billionaire tech genius Elon Musk was hawking his Tesla solar panels on the social media platform, stating their cost was $1.49 per Watt.

J.J. fired back: “How much are they for everyone else?”

Of course, some people missed Watt’s joke entirely and argued with each other in the mentions over the cost and benefit of solar. However, some Twitter users saw Watt’s remark as ultimate dad humor.

The funny tweets give Watt something else to do other than throw a tennis ball to his dogs “650 times an hour” when he isn’t training.
