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.
