Breaking News: Elon Musk Has Publicly Confronted Robert De Niro After Direct Insults on TV

This morning, the international media was shocked by the public battle between Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, and Hollywood veteran Robert de Niro. Tensions escalated after de Niro’s provocative statements on the popular television show  The View  , in which he publicly and sarcastically criticized Elon Musk in front of millions of viewers.

In a conversation about the role of tech billionaires in modern life, Robert de Niro suddenly declared:  “I wish he would disappear, that weird guy.”  Although it is not a proper name, but considering the context and attitude, viewers immediately understood that he was referring to Elon Musk, famous for his controversial opinions and bold speeches on social media.

Don’t let it go, a few hours after the broadcast, Elon Musk responded harshly on the platform X (formerly Twitter), where he usually shares personal opinions. ”  Unfortunately, an actor was once considered the symbol of those who choose to speak without such thoughts on the national airwaves. If ‘wokeness’ means insulting others for disagreeing, then that is not awakening, but a loss of direction,”  Musk wrote.

The incident immediately sparked a heated debate on social media. De Niro’s fans claimed that he was simply expressing his personal opinion on a controversial figure. On the contrary, the community supported Elon Musk in criticizing De Niro for attacking individuals instead of making a constructive argument.

Many media experts also said that this incident clearly reflects the polarization of American society, where public figures do not hesitate to directly express their political or social positions. Meanwhile, a section of the public fears that personal conflicts on television may overshadow more important issues that need to be discussed.

So far,  The View  has not officially responded, and Robert de Niro’s rep has also declined to comment. The clash between these two cult figures will surely continue to heat up the headlines for the foreseeable future.
