Predictably, ABC has denied Musk’s claims, though the damage was already done. The network quickly released a statement, trying to downplay the incident: “While we had hoped to collaborate with Mr. Musk on an exciting and groundbreaking project, creative differences led to the unfortunate decision to end the partnership. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
Translation? “Elon Musk is more trouble than he’s worth, and we’d rather cut our losses now.”
But no amount of PR spin could keep the story from snowballing. Musk’s legions of devoted fans took to social media to trash the network, accusing ABC of squandering the chance to work with a modern-day genius. Some even called for a boycott of the network, launching the hashtag #BanABC, which quickly trended on X (formerly Twitter).
Meanwhile, Musk’s critics delighted in his latest meltdown. “Of course Musk couldn’t handle it,” one detractor tweeted. “The guy’s ego is bigger than SpaceX’s rocket boosters. He probably wanted to film the whole thing on Mars next week.”
