Olivia Wilde Says She 'Deeply Resents' Elon Musk After Early SpaceX Meeting

She told Louis Theroux that a past SpaceX visit and a small Haiti donation now sit in stark contrast with public remarks she says echo misogynistic manosphere ideas.

Overview

  • Wilde recounted on The Louis Theroux Podcast that she visited SpaceX years ago to “see the rocket ships” and met Musk when the company first had a Los Angeles presence.
  • She said Musk expressed interest in supporting an unnamed Haiti organization building hospitals and schools and that he "did donate a little bit of money," which she called appreciated.
  • Wilde said she now "really deeply resent[s]" Musk and described him as having changed from the person she met into what she called a "creature," a view she tied to his later politics.
  • She linked Musk’s public comments about an "underpopulation crisis" to broader misogynistic strains and the online manosphere that she has explored in her films and public remarks.
  • Multiple outlets reported Wilde’s mid‑July 2026 podcast remarks and noted that, as of their coverage, Musk had not issued a public response, a development that could prompt further public debate over tech leaders' political influence.
