Awarding the Oscars 2025 at the Dolby Theater has just become the focus of one of the most shocking moments in history when Whoopi Goldberg, the familiar host, suddenly called Elon Musk “miserable” right on the live wave. The incident occurred while Goldberg was introducing a category, when she suddenly turned, looking directly into the stands where Musk was sitting and letting go of uncompromising criticism. The crowd was silent for a few seconds before exploding in the murmur, but what really made the whole auditorium dizzy was the instant reaction from the technology tycoon.
Without flinching, Musk immediately stood up from his chair, holding a spare microphone that the organizers provide to the guests and responded: “Whoopi, she has just turned herself into a joke of this world.” With a typical smirking smile, he continued: “I don’t need your prizes to know my value.” Musk’s sharp words made the atmosphere in the auditorium as tight as the strings, when the audience and the Hollywood stars did not know whether to clap or silence. The camera quickly caught close -up Goldberg, who looked stunned but still kept a tough face, refusing to apologize.
This drama seems to originate from the long -term conflict between the two. Earlier, Musk accused Goldberg and a number of other powerful characters manipulating Oscars, while she constantly criticized him on “The View” on issues from politics to the environment. The explosion at the awards ceremony was the peak of the feud for months. The Oscars Organizing Committee, which did not anticipate the situation, had to cut the advertising to stabilize the situation, but that moment had spread throughout the social network in just a few minutes.
The online community immediately divided the side. A writer on X: “Whoopi has just knocked down Musk-too top!” While Musk’s fan countered: “Elon made her shut up with just one sentence – who was the loser?” Others are concerned that the incident will harm the reputation of Oscars, who are trying to regain confidence after much controversy. The Academy has not made an official comment, but the pressure from the public is forcing them to consider the consequences.
With Goldberg still steadfast and Musk has no intention of backing down, this drama promises to last outside the awards ceremony. Is this an emotional outbreak or starting a bigger public battle? When smoke is dissolved, both Hollywood and the technology world are waiting to see who will stand after all.
