Actress and activist Alyssa Milano has publicly blamed Elon Musk for her recent career struggles and financial difficulties,
arguing that his leadership of Twitter (now X) has negatively impacted her opportunities in Hollywood.
In a recent podcast interview, Milano claimed that Musk’s approach to “free speech” has fueled hate
speech and online harassment, making producers hesitant to work with her. She believes the cultural shift under
Musk’s leadership has contributed to her declining career, as outspoken figures like herself face increased backlash and professional consequences.
Milano also addressed her financial hardships, stating that losing acting opportunities has forced her to downsize her lifestyle.
She argues that her outspokenness on political and social issues, combined with Musk’s influence, has made it
difficult for her to secure roles. While some supporters agree that Musk’s policies have made social media more toxic,
critics argue that her activism—rather than Musk—is the main reason for her diminished career prospects.
Despite the challenges, Milano remains committed to speaking out, acknowledging the personal and professional costs of activism in the entertainment industry.
