In a dramatic showdown that has sent shockwaves through both Hollywood and the tech world, Elon Musk and legendary actor Robert De Niro have found themselves in an intense public clash. The conflict erupted after De Niro appeared on The View, where he and the hosts took aim at Musk with harsh criticism, sparking a fiery response from the Tesla CEO.
The Insult on The View
The controversy began when Robert De Niro made an appearance on The View earlier this week. During the live broadcast, the actor, known for his outspoken political views, launched into a scathing attack on Musk, calling him “a weird awakened kid” and telling him to “go away.” The comment came as De Niro was discussing the impact of social media, corporate influence, and the personalities shaping the public discourse in the modern era.
De Niro’s exact words were: “We’ve got people like Elon Musk running around, using their platforms to push their personal agendas. The guy’s a weird awakened kid who thinks he’s some kind of genius. He needs to go away. We don’t need that in the world.”
The remark immediately caused a stir among viewers and online communities. Fans of De Niro applauded his bluntness, while Musk’s supporters took to social media to express their outrage at the personal attack on the tech mogul.
Musk Fires Back: “I’m Not Going Anywhere”
Not one to shy away from confrontation, Elon Musk quickly fired back at De Niro’s insult. In a tweet that gained immediate attention, Musk addressed the actor directly, saying, “I’m not going anywhere, Robert. I’ll keep pushing for progress while you stay stuck in the past.”
Musk’s followers rallied behind him, with many agreeing that De Niro’s comment was not only uncalled for but also a sign of the actor’s detachment from current technological advancements. “De Niro should be focusing on acting, not getting into pissing contests with people who are changing the world,” one Musk supporter tweeted.
