Elon Musk: “A bunch of old ladies talking about the world”—this is the most ridiculous show hoan
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has sparked controversy once again, this time taking aim at a prominent daytime talk show, which he labeled “the most ridiculous show” in a recent social media post. Musk, known for his outspoken and often provocative statements, referred to the program as “a bunch of old ladies talking about the world,” drawing both criticism and support from his followers.
The comment quickly went viral, igniting a heated debate online. Fans of the talk show, celebrated for its discussions on current events, politics, and social issues, defended the program, praising its hosts for offering diverse perspectives and addressing important topics. Critics of Musk’s remarks accused him of being dismissive and disrespectful, arguing that his comment was both ageist and sexist.
On the other hand, some of Musk’s supporters agreed with his assessment, echoing his sentiment that the show often lacks substantive debate, instead focusing too much on trivial matters. As author and media critic Sara Johnson commented, “There is a fine line between critique and dismissiveness; often Musk walks it.”
The talk show itself has not officially responded to Musk’s criticism, but the incident has sparked renewed discussions about the role of television programs in shaping public opinion and the importance of diverse voices in media. Media analyst Thomas Wright noted, “Musk’s comments will undoubtedly prompt discussions about generational divides on issues of representation and the nature of contemporary dialogue.”
As the debate continues, Musk’s remark serves as yet another example of his ability to stir controversy and dominate headlines with a single tweet. Notably, remarks such as these often prompt discussions on the perceived elitism in tech culture and its relationship with mainstream media. “It’s important to consider that while Musk critiques media, he too is part of a media machine,” stated communications expert Kelly Simmons.
