Elon Musk Criticizes Ben Stiller on X

Elon Musk has sparked controversy by using a derogatory term from the movie 'Tropic Thunder' to criticize Ben Stiller on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The incident arose after Stiller commented in an interview with Collider that the current cultural environment makes it difficult to produce 'edgier' comedy like 'Tropic Thunder'. Musk's use of the slur, which references a line from the film, drew both backlash and support online, with some criticizing his language and others defending his stance. Stiller, who starred in the film and directed it, expressed doubt about the film's feasibility in today's climate due to its controversial themes. The original post Musk shared was critical of Stiller's endorsement of Kamala Harris in the presidential election, further fueling the discussion. The debate highlights the ongoing tensions around comedy, political correctness, and cultural sensitivity in modern media.
