Elon Musk criticizes Anne Hathaway's human rights campaign speech

Elon Musk criticized Anne Hathaway for a speech she delivered in 2018 in support of the community.

On Sunday, he made a post on X, whilst responding to marketing professor Gad Saad, “She’s just a marionette. Whoever wrote her speech is the real douchebag. degenerate narcissist”.

In 2018, Anne attended the Human Rights Campaign National Dinner in Washington, D.C. At the event, the 43-year-old actress delivered a speech on equality while accepting the National Ally for Equality award.

At that time, Hathaway responded, “With the exception of being a cisgender male, everything about how I was born has put me at the current center of a damaging and widely accepted myth, that myth is that g**ness orbits around straitness, transgender orbits around cisgender, and that all races orbit around whiteness. And it is a myth that keeps money and power in the hands of the few, instead of being invested in the lives of the free.”

Anne told the crowd in defense of equality, “I’m pretty shell-shocked by what I see every day, by what I hear every day. And I really don’t like to admit this, but I get scared”.

“I am just living the values my parents gave me. I’m loving you the way you deserve, and yes, I am giving major side eye to anyone that thinks differently,” she continued. “I know I’m speaking in abstractions, and that there’s privilege embedded in my ability to do so. I know that there are very real obstacles that block the path to true equality, and I know that removing them is easier said than done.”

The Devil Wears Prada 2 actress concluded, “I appreciate this community because, together, we are not just going to question this myth. We are going to destroy it”.
