The media and social networks are in turmoil after Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson posted a provocative statement on his personal account, saying: “If Elon Musk doesn’t leave America alone, I’ll punch him.” Shortly after, Musk’s reaction left people more confused than ever.
Did The Rock Just Challenge Elon Musk?
The Rock’s post quickly garnered millions of interactions within hours. Many wondered what had caused the action star to be so enraged that he was willing to challenge the Tesla and SpaceX CEO so publicly.
In the post, Johnson did not clarify his reasons behind this shocking statement. Some speculate it is related to Musk’s recent political and technological moves, including his controversial comments on free speech, artificial intelligence, and his influence on American policies.
Elon Musk’s Unexpected Response
While netizens expected a sharp rebuttal from Musk, his reaction was even more bewildering. Instead of arguing or counterattacking, Elon Musk simply retweeted The Rock’s post with a “” emoji—a move that only fueled speculation.
Some believe this was Musk expressing his confusion over the unexpected threat from the action star. Meanwhile, others think he is deliberately adding to the drama and turning the story into a joke.
How Did the Public React?
Following the incident, Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit were flooded with comments from both sides. The Rock’s fans supported the actor, claiming he was defending America from Musk’s negative influence. On the other hand, Musk’s supporters mocked The Rock’s threat, with some even suggesting the two should settle their differences in a boxing match.
As of now, neither The Rock nor Elon Musk has made any further statements to clarify the situation. Is this just a publicity stunt, or is there a real conflict brewing between these two powerful figures? The public eagerly awaits more updates.
