Musk stated that Christopher Nolan “lost his integrity” by choosing Lupita Nyong’o for the role of Helen of Troy in the film adaptation of “The Odyssey.”
According to the billionaire, the actress would not fit the description of a character with “light skin, blonde hair and ‘the face that launched a thousand ships,’ because she was so beautiful that men started a war over her.”
“You’re not obligated to go to the movies,” snapped Whoopi Goldberg while looking into the camera.
“There are so many things I would like to say to you that are rude and horrible, but I’m not going to say them. But know that I’m thinking them,” said the actress from “Ghost.” Sunny Hostin also spoke about Musk’s comments.
“Anyone can play a fictional character. It doesn’t have to be a white person to play that role,” said Goldberg’s co-host.
“I think we need to call things by their name when we talk about someone like Elon Musk. He has been spreading white supremacy on the internet, on social media, on X, for quite some time,” she said.
Sunny Hostin said that, in her opinion, Musk was a “racist” and a “white supremacist.”
