Olivia Wilde Says She’s Grown to “Deeply Resent” Elon Musk After Early Meeting at Space X
Wilde says Musk’s rhetoric turns birth rates and relationships into engineering problems and reflects male power fantasies, as she promotes two new films.
- Director Olivia Wilde appeared on The Louis Theroux Podcast to criticize Elon Musk, linking his 'underpopulation crisis' rhetoric to male power fantasies and misogyny.
- Wilde met Musk 'many, many years ago' while touring SpaceX headquarters in Los Angeles, initially viewing the billionaire as an intelligent potential donor for her Haiti-based charity work.
- Claiming Musk's views shifted toward 'manosphere' ideologies treating human relationships as engineering problems, Wilde said she had 'turned into this creature' and now 'really deeply resent him.'
- Musk has not commented publicly on Wilde's remarks, which coincide with promotional efforts for her comedy-drama The Invite, opening in cinemas on July 31.
- Expanding beyond Musk, Wilde previously called author Jordan Peterson a 'pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community' during fall 2022 press tour for Don't Worry Darling, linking such ideologies to misogyny.
