Elon Musk has been at the center of more than a few controversies over the years – and it looks like he’s closing out the year with another one, this time involving Sydney Sweeney.
The 28-year-old Euphoria star has also found herself in the middle of some online discourse lately – American Eagle ad, need we say more? – but not quite like this! Keep reading to find out more…

Elon Musk Comments On Sydney Sweeney's Look From 'The Housemaid' LA Premiere
The 54-year-old Tesla mogul has come under fire on X (ironic given that he purchased the platform for $44B back in October 2022!) after many users labeled his reaction to Sweeney's recent red carpet look as "inappropriate."
On December 15th, the Madame Web star attended the Los Angeles premiere of her new psychological thriller, The Housemaid, wearing a figure-hugging white halter-neck gown with a super-plunging neckline and a floor-length skirt finished with feathered trim. The look immediately drew comparisons to Marilyn Monroe's iconic white dress from The Seven Year Itch – only updated and, arguably, even sexier!
Musk took to X to reply to a Variety post featuring the Christy star's look, suggesting that Sweeney must be suffering from intense back pain due to the size of her breasts. The video showed a smiling woman with large breasts under the caption, "What it looks like," followed by images of a body with an inflamed spine labelled, "How it feels." In the clip, the woman can be heard saying "owie." Musk captioned the post: "Can't be easy."
Social Media Reactions
"She's 30 years younger than you. Weird," slammed one fan in the comment section of the post. "Grown [expletive] man btw," echoed a second, as a third demanded: "He needs to be stopped." "Elon, no," wrote a fourth, as a fifth asked: "Elon, what the [expletive] is wrong with you?!"
"Sometimes I really like Elon and can see his passion and compassion about the work he does & how he wants to fix or help things and others. This is one of those 'other' times. His inner 4th grader needs righted," observed a sixth. "He most definitely wants her," noted a seventh, followed by three sideways crying laughing emojis.
The comments continued over on Reddit, where one user called his comment "inappropriate," and a second called it "creepy." "Elon weird? No way," joked a third.
"I think weird is the nicest thing I can say about him," quipped a fourth. A fifth added: "Sweeney can be his daughter and he has the hots for her, but she thank God [is] not into him. Midlife Crisis Mr. Musk?"
"Like imagine being the richest guy alive and still choosing creepy uncle at the premiere as your vibe," a sixth chimed in. "Imagine being that rich and still being such a loser," concurred a seventh. "Are we supposed to be surprised that that man is trash?" asked an eighth.
