Hollywood has lost another star to Europe, and this time, it’s all thanks to the one and only Elon Musk. Richard Gere, the legendary actor and Buddhist humanitarian, has reportedly packed his bags, left America, and sworn never to return. His destination? The land of paella, flamenco, and siestas—Spain.

According to sources (that may or may not exist), Gere has had enough of the “Muskification” of the United States. “I just can’t take it anymore,” he allegedly muttered while boarding his flight to Madrid. “First, he took over Twitter and turned it into a gladiator arena for trolls. Then, he decided that we should all live on Mars. I draw the line here.”

Gere, known for his roles in Pretty Woman and Chicago, has always been vocal about his views. However, few expected him to take such a dramatic step. Reports suggest he is planning to settle in a quaint Spanish village where the internet connection is too weak for Musk’s influence to reach.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk, upon hearing the news, responded in the most Muskian way possible—by posting a meme of a crying emoji on X (formerly Twitter), captioned: Who is Richard Gere again?

America now faces a critical question: if Musk continues his reign of technological chaos, how many more Hollywood icons will flee? Will Tom Hanks relocate to Portugal? Will Meryl Streep seek asylum in France? Only time will tell.

For now, Spain welcomes its newest celebrity resident with open arms. And as for Richard Gere, he can finally enjoy a Musk-free existence… at least until Starlink expands its coverage.
