Musk criticizes the larger Hollywood culture, which he views as hypocritical and divorced from normal life, in addition to De Niro’s particular remarks.
Musk argues that the public might sometimes get disenchanted with Hollywood’s progressive ideals because they see it as outdated.
Although De Niro’s Hollywood legacy and Musk’s tech career are quite different, both men have based their success on their capacity to enthrall audiences.
Famous for his parts in “Taxi Driver” and “Raging Bull,” De Niro’s career has suffered recently as he has shifted to lighter, less well-reviewed films.
He didn’t get the same critical praise for films like “Dirty Grandpa” as he did for his early dramatic parts, and some reviewers believe.
That his cinematic legacy may be being overshadowed by his vocal political views. According to Musk, this change in De Niro’s career is indicative of a larger cultural movement.
