Alyssa Milano sparked controversy by accusing Elon Musk of playing an important role in the slowdown in his Hollywood career and his financial problems. On a recent podcast, she linked changes to Twitter (now renamed X) under the direction of Musk to an increase in toxic online behavior. Milano claims that Musk’s practical approach to freedom of expression has enabled hate speeches, disinformation and harassment to flourish on the platform, creating a hostile environment that has dissuaded producers and casting directors to work with frank celebrities.

Milano estimates that industry leaders are now moving from controversial figures in order to avoid public repercussions that may arise online reactions. She also talked about her personal financial difficulties, revealing that she had to considerably reduce her expenses due to less acting roles.

While some criticisms argue that Milano diverts responsibility from her career challenges, she remains resolved in her activism, even if it has a personal and professional cost. His comments sparked a broader conversation on the challenges that Hollywood faces to balance personal advocacy for the maintenance of a lasting career.
