Olivia Wilde has sharply criticized Elon Musk during an appearance on "The Louis Theroux Podcast," where she discussed her views on misogynistic incel culture and her growing resentment toward the billionaire entrepreneur. According to the interview, Wilde said she now "deeply resent[s]" Musk and referred to him as a "creature."
The actor and director also reflected on a previous visit to SpaceX headquarters, where she met Musk years ago. That past encounter appears to have taken on new meaning for Wilde as she spoke about him in the broader context of online misogyny and the figures she believes are tied to it.
Her comments connect a personal memory with a larger cultural criticism. Rather than speaking only about one individual, Wilde used the conversation to address what she sees as a wider pattern of harmful attitudes toward women, including the influence of incel ideology.
The podcast appearance has drawn attention because it combines celebrity commentary, tech-world notoriety and an ongoing debate about gender politics online. Wilde's remarks place Musk at the center of that discussion while underscoring her own frustration with the culture she says surrounds him.
