Hunter Biden Calls Elon Musk 'Broken' & 'Evil' During Recent Interview
One of the most talked-about figures when it comes to political commentary right now is none other than Hunter Biden, the former attorney and famous son of former President Joe Biden.
If you're unfamiliar with the last few highly publicized years of his life, Hunter faced two separate federal criminal cases stemming from conduct during a period when he struggled with drug addiction. His father later issued him a pardon. Now, he appears to be making a comeback, returning to the public spotlight. On August 31st, his episode of the Rich Roll podcast aired, where he spoke about the things going on in his life, including how he's been managing his addiction and some of his takes on today's political culture. At one point, Elon Musk's name came up, and Hunter discussed both his influence on younger generations and how he believes the billionaire's upbringing influenced his mindset.
"I've had little experience with, um, with Elon, and because he really, really attacked me during that time because of Twitter, I was really angry, and he's a really broken person," he said. "He's had a 100% incredible amount of trauma in his life. And I don't say this to be revealing of anything that's not already out there. His father is a really, really awful human being. And people can go look for themselves, but I think it's very unlikely that his father did not treat him the way that he treated every other child in his life."
Hunter then compared Elon to characters and archetypes in a book he's deeply inspired by, The Daily Stoic.
"I'm a huge believer in the lessons that we can learn, not only from Aurelius, but from all of those myths and, you know, the hero's journey... what's always the same is those characters. They're evil. They're the archetype of the broken person, the sociopath, the psycho, whatever label that you want to put on them."
Social Media Users React To Hunter's Comments & Praise Joe Biden's Parenting
After the artist's Rich Roll podcast episode aired, it didn't take long for fans of his and other internet users to begin chiming in on some of his comments. Given the Tesla founder's long-running feud with many left-leaning figures and Democratic politicians, Hunter's take on his behavior went especially viral.
On platforms like Instagram, fans of the Biden family praised his more academic take on how Elon is the way he is, and some even praised his father for his parenting.
"Listening to Hunter convinces me that Joe Biden, despite his other woeful inadequacies, was a really great dad," commented an Instagram user.
"Hunter's turned out to be a pretty good dude after all," wrote another. "He's got a reasonable take on about everything."
"I agree," a user commented. "Something is so broken in Elon Musk."
"Hunter Biden spitting facts in 2026, and I'm here for it," added another.
