The 2025 Oscars at the Dolby Theatre just became the center of one of the most shocking moments in history when familiar host Whoopi Goldberg suddenly called Elon Musk “miserable” on the live wave. The incident happened while Goldberg was introducing a category, when she suddenly turned around, looking directly into the stands where Musk was sitting and unleashing uncompromising criticism. The crowd was silent for a few seconds before erupting into murmurs, but what really made the entire auditorium territory was the tech mogul’s instant reaction.
Without flinching, Musk immediately rose from his chair, holding a spare microphone that organizers provide to guests, and replied: “Whoopi, she just turned into a joke of this world.” With a typical narrative smile, he continued: “I don’t need your prices to know my worth.” Musk’s sharp words made the atmosphere in the auditorium as tight as ropes, as the audience and Hollywood stars alike didn’t know whether to applaud or be silent. The camera quickly caught Goldberg, who looked stunned but still kept a hard face, refusing to apologize.
