In an explosive tweet that set fire to social networks, the technological tycoon Elon Musk unleashed a scathing attack against Beyoncé’s incursion into country music, describing his last album as“Authentic garbage”and questioning the authenticity of his transition to gender. The comment, supposedly made by Musk,“Discovered the truth”On the roots of his music, he unleashed an intense debate about cultural purpose, artistic development and, again, Musk’s fans for playing controversial issues.
DER TWEET Explosive
The drama began when Musk, who never cuts criticism, responded to a viral publication and asked if Beyoncé’s album,Cowboy Carter(2024), War, Era“Real country music”.Your answer?
I just heard Beyoncé’s country album. I’m sorry, but this is nonsense. Real Country = Johnny Cash, Dolly, Merle. No … It doesn’t matter. It seems cultural appropriation.
In a matter of minutes, the tweet had obtained millions of visits and the critics accused Musk of racism, elitism and incredible ignorance of the black roots of country music.
Reaction against Beyhive and beyond
Beyoncé’s fanngemeinde, the bee hive, ascended to the top of the musk and filled his mentions with historical tributes to the contributions of the black community to country music, from pioneers like Charley Pride and Deford Bailey to the African origins of the banjo. Even other musicians participated.
The Country Maren Morris star was enraged:
«Elon has clearly not done his homework. Beyoncé’s album is a masterpiece that pays tribute to the true history of the country, unlike some billionaires who simply disguise musical critics.
Meanwhile, conservative commentators applauded Musk’s recording and framed it as a defense of “traditional” values against “awake” influences.
Musk’s “discovery”: what “truth” did you find?
It is widely speculated on what Muschus“Discovered”Before its outbreak. Some theories:
Affirmations generated by AI?The conspiracists suggest that Musk believes that Bey’s album was produced in secret.
Branchen manipulation?Others speculate that they believe that their success will be artificially inflated.
Pure provocation?It is probably another reason for the musk note.
Beyoncé is silent, but the world is not silent
Queen Bey herself has not responded (she rarely does it to critics), but cultural analysts say that Musk’s attack reflects a deeper rejection against black artists in genres historically dominated by whites.
“It’s not about music, it’s about power,”Touré said, Twitter journalist.“Elon can’t stand to see a black woman to redefine a space in which she doesn’t even belong.”
Bigger than Beyoncé: the cultural war continues furious
Musk’s speech, when he was younger, fits patterns similar to that of black women (remember his smile?), And when they talked freely, they were martyrs. But with the advertising income of X and its credibility as a cultural commentator in Freefall, critics wonder:Is it another desperate ploy to stay relevant?
Last thought: stroke or conviction?
Whether Beyoncé sincerely hate Musk’s music or simply longs for participation, one thing is clear: it has become the center of another controversy. But at what price?
