Gere voiced worries about the unbridled power of tech millionaires and the expanding impact of technology on society. As CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, and now X (previously Twitter),
Musk has come to represent the technological revolution that has changed the face of the contemporary world. Although many consider Musk to be a visionary,
Gere has expressed concern about the potential negative effects of such concentrated power. According to reports, Gere attacked Musk’s purchase of Twitter in an interview,
Saying it was a prime example of the dangers of letting one person control platforms that influence public opinion. The influence of cutting-edge technology on society,
such as social media and artificial intelligence, which Gere feels are weakening interpersonal relationships and promoting division, was also discussed in his remarks.
