Olivia Wilde Resents Elon Musk Over 'Misogynistic' Views
21 Jul
Summary
- Wilde shared her negative feelings toward Elon Musk on a podcast.
- She cited Musk's views on overpopulation as aligning with misogyny.
- The actress linked this philosophy to the election of Donald Trump.
Actress and filmmaker Olivia Wilde recently shared her deep resentment for Tesla CEO Elon Musk during an appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast. Wilde explained her negative feelings stemmed from Musk's alignment with philosophies she described as misogynistic.
Specifically, Wilde pointed to Musk's claims about the world being underpopulated and able to handle a billion more people. She connected this viewpoint to broader themes of men believing they are more powerful than nature, a concept she felt was weaponized to influence political outcomes, including the election of Donald Trump.
Wilde's comments came as she discussed Jordan Peterson's influence, which inspired a character in her film 'Don't Worry Darling.' She questioned the fairness of critiquing Peterson but ultimately expressed concern over the spread of such philosophies.
