Overview

- The post showed an image labeled "what it looks like" featuring a woman with large breasts beside "what it feels like" depicting a person with back pain.
- X users condemned the commentary as inappropriate, with several pointing to the reported age gap between Musk, 54, and Sweeney, 28.
- Coverage framed the episode as part of Musk’s recurring sexualized remarks about Sweeney, including prior memes and a lewd video-call quip about his own chest.
- Reports added broader context about Musk’s personal life, noting Grimes recently said he blocked her on X and that she is focused on co-parenting.
