Hollywood is in turmoil after Elon Musk released shocking allegations, claiming that Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey used their wealth and influence to manipulate key categories at the 2025 Academy Awards. The revelations have ignited a firestorm on social media, raising serious questions about the integrity of one of the most prestigious events in the film industry.
The Shocking Evidence
Through his platform X (formerly Twitter), Musk posted a series of documents and internal messages that he claims prove Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey leveraged financial power and industry connections to influence Oscar voting results—particularly in major categories such as Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor/Actress.
Shortly after Musk’s disclosure, social media erupted. While some praised him for exposing the truth, others were skeptical and demanded further verification of his claims.
Hollywood’s Reaction
As of now, Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey have not issued any official statements regarding the allegations. However, several Hollywood insiders have come to their defense, suggesting that Musk’s actions could be an attempt to stir controversy.
A source within the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Oscars) stated:
“We take the integrity of the voting process very seriously. If there is any evidence of misconduct, we will conduct a thorough investigation.”
Public Outrage and Debate
Following the revelation, many have questioned whether financial power plays a role in major film awards. Some argue that it is no surprise that Hollywood elites try to influence results, while others worry that these allegations could further erode public trust in prestigious awards like the Oscars.
With Elon Musk’s credibility and the high-profile nature of Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey, this controversy is far from over. Was the 2025 Oscars truly manipulated? If so, what will be the consequences? The film industry awaits answers.
