In a shocking turn of events, Robert De Niro has officially filed a $100 million lawsuit against Elon Musk, holding him responsible for his removal from all 2025 Oscars nominations. The lawsuit claims that Musk’s remarks damaged De Niro’s reputation and led to the Academy’s drastic decision.
Though the specific comments Musk made remain unclear, reports suggest that his public criticism of De Niro created a ripple effect in the industry. Insiders say the Academy was pressured into distancing itself from De Niro to avoid controversy, resulting in his shocking removal from this year’s Oscars race.
De Niro’s legal team argues that Musk intentionally used his influence to sabotage the actor’s career, demanding financial compensation and an official apology. Meanwhile, Musk has taken to social media, seemingly mocking the situation, tweeting, “Imagine suing someone because you got left out of an awards show. Sad!”
The lawsuit has sparked heated debates in Hollywood, with many celebrities rallying behind De Niro while others argue that the Academy’s decision was justified. With the legal battle just beginning, all eyes are on the courtroom to see how this high-stakes drama unfolds.
