Hollywood actress and activist Alyssa Milano has recently made headlines by blaming tech billionaire Elon Musk for the downturn in her career and financial struggles. In a series of public statements and social media posts, Milano alleged that Musk’s influence, particularly through his acquisition of Twitter (now X), has played a key role in damaging her public image and professional opportunities.
Milano, best known for her roles in Charmed and Who’s the Boss?, has been an outspoken critic of Musk since he took over Twitter in late 2022. She was one of the many celebrities who publicly denounced the billionaire’s leadership, even going as far as to return her Tesla vehicle in protest. In her latest claims, Milano suggested that her activism against Musk has led to targeted harassment, loss of brand deals, and dwindling acting opportunities.
The actress pointed to what she described as a coordinated online smear campaign against her, allegedly amplified by Musk’s policies that reduced censorship and reinstated previously banned accounts. She also blamed changes in Twitter’s verification system, which she believes have contributed to the spread of misinformation about her.
“Elon Musk has created an environment where people like me, who stand up for what’s right, are vilified and silenced,” Milano said in a recent interview. “Because of his actions, I have faced immense financial hardship and career setbacks.”
Musk, known for his blunt responses on social media, has not directly addressed Milano’s accusations. However, his supporters argue that her career struggles are a result of shifting public interest rather than any targeted actions by the Tesla and SpaceX CEO. Critics of Milano also point out that her career had been declining before Musk’s involvement with Twitter, suggesting that her activism might be an attempt to stay relevant in the media.
As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Milano’s accusations will gain traction or if they will be dismissed as another chapter in Hollywood’s ongoing culture wars. One thing is clear—her feud with Musk has further solidified the growing divide between celebrities and tech moguls in the digital age.
