Elon Musk Calls ‘The Boys’ Series Finale ‘Fake And Gay’
Elon Musk said the finale was a poor fit for Homelander and revived criticism of the show’s satire of right-wing politics.
- Billionaire Elon Musk criticized the series finale of The Boys on Friday, calling it "fake and gay" and "pathetic" in response to the show's portrayal of antagonist Homelander, played by Antony Starr.
- The satirical series, known for critiquing right-wing politics and President Donald Trump, recently introduced a character with parallels to Musk. Series creator Eric Kripke has described the show as a "story about the intersection of celebrity and authoritarianism."
- Kripke responded by sharing Musk's posts and writing, "OMG this is his review of what did to Homelander, I'll never get a better review ever." Musk, who posted over a dozen times Thursday and Friday, later admitted he had not watched the finale.
- Social media users mocked Musk's intense criticism, prompting him to declare he was "not upset, just remarking that the ending sounds fake and gay." Observers noted the irony of the CEO's focus on a show he claimed not to have watched.
- The show continues to draw anti-"woke" criticism for its satirical portrayal of right-wing figures, as critics have long viewed The Boys as a critique of fascist rhetoric and media manipulation that Kripke intentionally designed.
