Elon Musk Publicly Clashes with Robert De Niro After Collaboration with The View to Insult Him Live on Air: “Go Away, You Weird Awakened Kid.”

In yet another high-profile feud, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is reportedly embroiled in a heated public clash with legendary actor Robert De Niro. The controversy began after De Niro made disparaging remarks about Musk during a live segment on The View, prompting the tech mogul to fire back in his usual unfiltered style.

The Incident

According to reports, Robert De Niro appeared on The View to discuss his latest film projects, but the conversation quickly veered off-topic when the discussion turned to Elon Musk. The veteran actor did not hold back his criticism, accusing Musk of being a “dangerous influence” and blaming him for what he called the degradation of modern social discourse.

“He’s like a weird awakened kid with too much power and no sense of responsibility. It’s bad for society, plain and simple,” De Niro said, his comments immediately sparking reactions from both the audience and social media.

Musk’s Swift Response

Elon Musk, never one to shy away from a public spat, took to X (formerly Twitter) to issue his own scathing response.

“It’s always amusing when actors who play tough guys on screen turn out to be fragile little egos in real life. Go away, Robert. Maybe go pretend to be someone relevant again.”

The tweet instantly went viral, drawing both applause from Musk’s supporters and outrage from De Niro’s fans.

Backlash and Reactions

The unexpected war of words has left fans and celebrities divided. Supporters of Musk have praised his fearless clapback, arguing that De Niro overstepped by making the matter personal on a popular daytime show. Meanwhile, others have condemned Musk’s remarks, accusing him of disrespecting a beloved actor with a long-standing career.

Where It Stands Now

Insiders suggest that De Niro is considering releasing a formal statement in response to Musk’s comments. Additionally, The View has faced backlash for allowing the segment to devolve into what some are calling an “unnecessary smear campaign.”

Whether or not this clash will escalate further remains to be seen, but the internet is clearly eating it up as the drama continues to unfold.
