Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk has posted his take on Amazon’s Lord of the Rings series, The Rings of Power, and it is scathing.
Musk tweeted, “Tolkien is turning in his grave,” followed by his assessment of the characters in the series so far.
Almost every male character so far is a coward, a jerk or both. Only Galadriel is brave, smart and nice.

He then pointed out a series of responses to his tweet, which hint at the ongoing feud he is in with Twitter regarding bot accounts.

The series has been poorly received by fans, with a 39% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, while IMDb has fluctuated from a score of 6/10 to its current score of 6.8/10. There was also the alleged review bombing controversy which caused Amazon to suspend Rings of Power reviews for 72 hours “to combat review bombing.”
I don’t know if you are aware how many articles per hour yahoo has been spewing out regarding racism and the Rangz. It’s almost as many articles as they put out regarding Trump. Of course any article regarding Elon’s comments were immediately shunned in the comments. People claiming he’s bad for the world, his pro-capitalism stinks, that he’s bad for the environment, etc….
Its sad how many people blatantly follow the headlines as long as they’re from their preferred political media…
