Elon Musk Blasted on X Over Pathetic Remarks About Sydney Sweeney's Breasts
Elon Musk stirred up the ire of X users on Tuesday with a bizarre post inspired by Sydney Sweeney's breasts. The 54-year-old billionaire faced swift backlash after weighing in on the 28-year-old actress's attire at the Los Angeles premiere of her new psychological thriller The Housemaid. Sweeney had caused a stir on the red carpet when she walked the red carpet in a busty white low-cut dress featuring a skirt decorated with feathers. While many posters commented on the Euphoria star's outfit and breasts, Musk's post drew heavy criticism for his age and for previous posts aimed at younger women that fans objected to. In response to a video of the actress on the red carpet, Musk posted a disjointed AI-generated graphic featuring a photo of a smiling woman with large breasts that was captioned, 'What it looks like,' along with a graphic of a body with an inflamed, red spine. The woman said 'Owie' in a childish voice, suggesting that she was suffering from back pain because of the size of her breasts. The Daily Mail has reached out to Sweeney's representatives for comment but hasn't yet heard back.

AI Generated Graphic Musk Used to Mock Sweeney's Breasts Sparks Backlash
On a video of the actress on the red carpet, Musk posted a disjointed AI-generated graphic featuring a photo of a smiling woman with large breasts that was captioned, 'What it looks like,' along with a graphic of a body with an inflamed, red spine. The woman said 'Owie' in a childish voice, suggesting that she was suffering from back pain because of the size of her breasts. Musk's post appeared on X as a response to the video of Sweeney on the red carpet. The 54-year-old billionaire was slammed on his own social media site after he weighed in on the 28-year-old actress' attire at the Los Angeles premiere of her new psychological thriller The Housemaid. Multiple users thought it was inappropriate for Musk to be commenting on Sweeney's body, particularly because he is so much older than her. 'She's 30 years younger than you. Weird,' wrote one user who rounded up their 26-year age gap. The TrueAnon podcast co-host Brace Belden commented sarcastically, 'GREAT point.' Another user wrote, 'What is bro doing here 😭.' Others compared Musk's post to earlier posts aimed at young women that they also found distasteful. One poster looked back at a controversial post Musk made in September 2024 that was addressed to Taylor Swift. 'TFine Taylor ... you win ... I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,' Musk bizarrely wrote at the time in response to Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris for president during the 2024 election. Musk's bizarre post appeared to suggest that Sweeney might have back pain because of the size of her breasts.
Public backlash centers on age gap and offensive tone
Reaction to Musk's post focused on the nearly three-decade age gap and the inappropriateness of commenting on a younger woman's body. 'She's 30 years younger than you. Weird,' wrote one observer, while others said the post fit a pattern of past remarks that many found distasteful. 'Between this response to Taylor Swift and that response to Sydney Sweeney, I don't know which Elon Musk tweet is more pathetic,' a commenter wrote, reflecting on how Musk's reputation has shifted since 2018 when some described him as 'like learning about real world Iron Man.' Brace Belden, the TrueAnon co-host, responded with a facetious, 'GREAT point.' Another user added, 'What is bro doing here 😭.' The thread also drew comparisons to Musk's earlier posts, including a September 2024 tweet aimed at Taylor Swift amid her endorsement of Kamala Harris for president in the 2024 election.
Taylor Swift reference and a peek at Musk’s history with young women
One poster looked back at a controversial post Musk made in September 2024 addressed to Taylor Swift. 'Fine Taylor ... you win ... I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,' Musk bizarrely wrote at the time in response to Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris for president during the 2024 election. The thread suggests Musk’s online persona has toggled between provocative humor and alarming comments across years. Musk’s post appeared in the context of broader commentary about his online behavior and public image, including a note that he has previously engaged with remarks directed at younger women that some fans objected to.
Sweeney’s dress nods to Marilyn Monroe and a Vanity Fair lie detector test
Sydney wore a busty dress on Monday that drew comparisons to Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress in The Seven Year Itch (1955). She later told Vanity Fair co-star Amanda Seyfried that her breasts were real while hooked up to a lie detector for Vanity Fair; pictured Monday in LA. Sweeney and Seyfried both took turns being hooked up to a lie detector as the other actress asked them potentially embarrassing questions while the device's readout was shown on-screen in real time. 'There's been a question on everyone’s mind recently, and I just have to ask. Are your boobs real?' Seyfried asked. 'TYes!' Sweeney shot back instantly. 'Seyfried wasn't satisfied yet, so she asked for clarification if Sweeney had 'ever had any work done' on her breasts. 'No, I’ve never gotten any work done anywhere,' Sweeney responded. After a moment of suspense, the woman administering the polygraph judged her as being 'truthful'.
Health context: back pain and breast size
Although breast size may contribute to back pain, women who report discomfort from having large breasts may have an improperly sized bra, or they may be suffering from common issues that cause back pain, including herniated discs, localized muscle pain and osteoarthritis, according to Healthline. The article underscores that medical explanations for back pain are multifaceted and not solely tied to breast size, providing context to readers who may see Musk’s comments as superficially focused on appearance.
