BREAKING: Elon Musk Claps Back at Keanu Reeves After On-Air Diss – “Your Career Will…” [READ MORE

The tech billionaire didn’t take Reeves’ blunt remarks lightly—now, tensions are rising between two of the world’s most recognizable figures.

During a recent televised interview promoting his upcoming film, Keanu Reeves was asked about Elon Musk’s growing presence in Hollywood, particularly his acquisition of X (formerly Twitter) and rumored film ventures. The John Wick star, known for his candid nature, didn’t hold back, responding with unexpected sharpness

“I think some people should stick to what they’re good at—or at least what they think they’re good at. Making electric cars doesn’t make you a storyteller.”

The remark drew laughter from the studio audience but didn’t sit well with Musk. Within hours, the SpaceX CEO fired back on his platform with a cryptic yet pointed tweet:

“Funny how the guys who play heroes start believing their own press. Your career will look very different in five years. Tick tock. ⏳”

Hollywood Takes Sides

The exchange has sparked debate among celebrities. Some, like Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland, defended Musk:

“Elon’s actually put his money where his mouth is on creativity. How many original scripts has Keanu written?”

Others, including The Matrix director Lilly Wachowski, stood by Reeves:

“Keanu helped redefine sci-fi cinema while Elon was still coding PayPal. Maybe focus on not wrecking Twitter further?”

Behind the Beef

Industry insiders suggest the tension may stem from Musk’s rumored involvement in a Neuromancer adaptation—a project Reeves has been attached to for years.

“Elon’s been pushing for creative control, and Keanu’s team sees it as a hostile takeover,” reveals a source close to the production.

With Musk’s cryptic “tick tock” warning and Reeves standing his ground, this feud isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Will the Tesla mogul actually use his Hollywood connections against the beloved actor, or is this just another Twitter storm in a teacup?

One thing’s for sure: the internet is taking sides. #TeamKeanu is currently leading social media polls, but if there’s one thing Musk’s followers know—it’s that he rarely backs down from a fight.
