Hollywood actress and activist Alyssa Milano has publicly blamed Elon Musk for the downfall of her career and financial struggles. In a series of social media posts, Milano suggested that the billionaire weaponized his influence against her, leading to professional setbacks and loss of income.
Milano vs. Musk: A Long-Standing Feud
Milano and Musk have clashed before, most notably when she publicly criticized Musk’s leadership of Twitter (now X) and announced she was selling her Tesla in protest. The actress claimed that the platform became a haven for hate speech under Musk’s ownership, and she later switched to a Volkswagen, seemingly unaware of the company’s historical Nazi ties—a move that Musk mocked openly.
Since then, Milano alleges that her outspokenness has come at a cost, stating that she has faced:
Lost acting opportunities
Industry blacklisting
Diminished social media reach
Financial instability
Is Musk to Blame?
While Milano’s career struggles have been apparent in recent years, critics argue that her declining relevance in Hollywood was already underway long before her feud with Musk. The actress, best known for her roles in Charmed and Who’s the Boss?, has not had a major TV or film role in years.
Musk has not responded directly to Milano’s latest claims, but his past interactions suggest he is unbothered by celebrity backlash. He has repeatedly stated that he supports free speech and has no interest in suppressing dissenting voices.
Public Reactions
Supporters of Milano believe she is a victim of powerful billionaires retaliating against critics.
Musk fans argue that she is blaming others for her own fading career instead of adapting to the industry’s changes.
Neutral observers see this as part of a broader Hollywood vs. tech billionaire culture war.
What’s Next?
With Milano doubling down on her accusations, it remains to be seen if Musk will respond or if this will further deepen the divide between Hollywood elites and Silicon Valley power players. Either way, this feud is far from over.
