**Drama Erupts: De Niro Sues Elon Musk, Demands $100 Million for Statements That Cost Him a 2025 Oscar Nomination – This Is How Elon Musk Reacted**
In a stunning turn of events, iconic actor Robert De Niro has filed a lawsuit against tech mogul Elon Musk, demanding $100 million in damages for statements Musk allegedly made that De Niro claims led to the loss of a coveted 2025 Oscar nomination. The drama, which has already captured the attention of Hollywood and Silicon Valley, centers around a series of comments Musk made about De Niro’s recent work, which the actor argues severely impacted his career and reputation.
The drama began when Elon Musk, during a public appearance at an event in New York City, was asked about the upcoming 2025 Academy Awards. The conversation quickly shifted to the performances of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including De Niro. According to the lawsuit, Musk made critical comments about De Niro’s latest role in a highly anticipated film, calling it “uninspired” and “a shadow of his former brilliance.” Musk’s remarks didn’t stop there—he reportedly went on to suggest that De Niro’s “best work was behind him” and that younger, fresher talent was now dominating Hollywood.
Although Musk’s comments were made in passing during a casual conversation, De Niro claims they set off a chain of events that ultimately cost him an Oscar nomination. According to his legal team, the backlash from Musk’s comments was swift, with critics, bloggers, and social media users spreading Musk’s opinion, which led to a significant drop in buzz surrounding De Niro’s performance. The actor alleges that this negative publicity made it impossible for his performance to gain the traction it needed for an Oscar nomination.
In his lawsuit, De Niro is demanding a staggering $100 million in damages. The suit argues that Musk’s public statements were defamatory and misleading, causing irreparable harm to De Niro’s career and personal brand. De Niro’s legal team asserts that Musk’s influence and large public platform were used recklessly, resulting in a direct impact on the actor’s professional reputation and his chances at receiving an Oscar nomination in 2025.
The lawsuit also highlights how Musk’s comments have been amplified by the media, with many outlets picking up on the controversy and further fueling the negative perception surrounding De Niro’s performance. De Niro is seeking not only financial compensation but also a public retraction from Musk and a formal apology.
# De Niro’s Team Responds
De Niro’s legal team has been vocal in their defense, arguing that the actor has worked tirelessly over decades to build a reputation as one of the finest actors of his generation. According to them, Musk’s comments, though made in a casual setting, were nothing short of an attack on that reputation. In a statement, De Niro’s attorney, David H. Williams, said, “Robert De Niro has always strived for excellence in his craft, and to have his career undermined by the reckless comments of a public figure who is not even an expert in the arts is both unjust and damaging. This lawsuit is about protecting his legacy and ensuring that his hard work is respected.”

As expected, Elon Musk has responded to the lawsuit with characteristic defiance and humor. Rather than issuing a formal apology or retraction, Musk took to social media to address the matter in his usual irreverent style. On Twitter, Musk tweeted, “Robert De Niro should get an Oscar for his performance in *The Lawsuit*, though. Guess we’ll have to wait for 2026 for that one.” The tweet quickly went viral, with Musk’s followers showing their support and amusement at the situation.
