Elon Musk Sparks Controversy with Comment on Sydney Sweeney’s Breasts, But He May Be Onto Something
Elon Musk has once again stirred conversation online after commenting on a post about actress Sydney Sweeney. The Hollywood star has been turning heads lately, and it seems even the Tesla CEO couldn’t resist weighing in.
On Monday, Sweeney appeared at the Los Angeles premiere of the film The Housemaid wearing a striking white dress with a feathery hemline. Variety shared a short clip of the actress posing for cameras, and fans quickly praised her glamorous red carpet look.

However, Musk seemed less interested in the outfit and more focused on Sweeney’s physique. According to posts on X, he shared an AI-generated meme showing a woman with large breasts alongside the caption “what it looks like”. The second part of the meme showed a person’s visibly strained spine with the caption “how it feels”. Musk added his own comment: “can’t be easy.”

While the comment sparked mixed reactions online, some have argued that Musk might have a point. Large breasts can sometimes cause physical discomfort or back strain, making it more than just an aesthetic feature. His remark, though awkwardly phrased, touches on a real issue that many people experience.
Fans were quick to react, with some criticizing Musk for commenting on Sweeney’s body, while others noted the physical challenges his meme referenced. The post highlights the unusual way celebrities and public figures sometimes comment on each other’s lives online, and how social media can amplify even small remarks into viral discussions.
Musk’s comment may have been in poor taste to some, but it does bring attention to the fact that large breasts can have real physical effects, which is rarely discussed in mainstream media.
