Olivia Wilde slams Elon Musk as ‘creature’ she ‘deeply resents’

Olivia Wilde has slammed Elon Musk as a “creature” whom she has grown to resent since first meeting him years ago.

Appearing on The Louis Theroux Podcast, the director brought up the billionaire during a broader discussion on misogyny and incel culture.

“I met him many, many years ago. I think SpaceX had just built their headquarters in LA and I got to go on a tour because I wanted to see the rocket ships,” she recalled.

Wilde added that whilst she has always been confused by him, she never expected him to “go the path that he’s gone now because he did seem really smart”.

“I really deeply resent him,” she stated.

Musk has not commented publicly on Wilde’s remarks.
