Television personality and lawyer Star Jones is facing a major backlash—and a massive financial penalty—after calling billionaire Elon Musk “stupid” during a live broadcast. The shocking moment quickly went viral, but what followed was even more surprising: Jones was immediately hit with a staggering $20 million fine.
The incident occurred during a heated discussion about Musk’s leadership at Tesla and SpaceX. Jones, known for her outspoken nature, didn’t hold back, openly criticizing Musk’s decisions and calling him “stupid” on air. While some viewers applauded her honesty, others, particularly Musk’s supporters, were outraged.
Shortly after the broadcast, reports surfaced that Jones was facing legal and financial consequences for her comments. Many are now questioning whether this penalty was justified or an extreme response to free speech.
The controversy has put Jones’ career at risk, with speculation that she may lose major contracts and endorsements. Some media executives are reportedly distancing themselves from her, fearing backlash from Musk’s powerful influence in the business world.
While Jones has not publicly responded to the fine, insiders say she is considering legal action. Meanwhile, social media remains divided—some believe Musk is using his influence to silence critics, while others argue that public figures should be more careful with their words.
As the situation unfolds, one thing is certain: this clash between Star Jones and Elon Musk is far from over.
