Robyn Denounces Elon Musk’s Tesla-in-Space Stunt, Urges ‘Democracy in Space’

Her podcast remarks, made during promotion for her March album, feed a wider critique of billionaire control over space.

Overview

  • On Las Culturistas, Robyn said she has “always hated” Elon Musk and claimed she felt that way before it was common.
  • She cited Musk’s 2018 launch of a Tesla Roadster playing David Bowie as the moment her disdain began, calling the stunt tacky and unnecessary space clutter.
  • Robyn argued for democratic oversight of space activity, warning that corporate stunts could endanger astronauts and exploit shared resources.
  • She also criticized Jeff Bezos, mocking his post-flight message about protecting Earth after his brief trip beyond the atmosphere.
