00:00The series finale of The Boys just dropped and while fans are losing their minds over how it
00:03all wrapped up, there is one high-profile Homelander fan who seems to be furious. Elon
00:07Musk took to X to give the finale a brutal one-word review, pathetic. But if you think
00:11show creator Eric Kripke is upset about it, think again. He's calling it the best review he's ever
00:16received. Let's break down this bizarre internet beef and what people are saying about the season
00:20five finale of The Boys. Alright, massive spoiler warning for the series finale Blood and Bone. If
00:25you haven't watched it yet, skip ahead. In the finale, the show's ultimate big bad Homelander
00:29gets stripped of his powers and is left begging for his life. For a lot of viewers, it was the
00:34ultimate satisfying punishment. But Elon Musk, who has famously been the subject of plenty of
00:38based Homelander memes online, was not a fan. When Musk called the ending pathetic, Eric Kripke
00:43immediately quote tweeted him, writing, OMG, this is his review of what The Boys TV did to
00:48Homelander. I'll never get a better review, ever. The reason Kripke's not upset is probably because
00:53this show prides itself on offending the ultra-wealthy and powerful. So he sees this as the ultimate badge
00:58of honor. But the plot thickens. When Kripke clapped back, Musk responded by admitting,
01:02didn't watch the show to be honest, claiming Kripke probably got flack from his quote,
01:06wife's boyfriend, over the Homelander memes and had to write a groveling apology ending.
01:11But fans called out Elon Musk asking why he was so upset if he didn't watch it. To which he
01:16replied,
01:16I'm not upset, just remarking that the ending sounds fake. What makes this entire back and forth
01:20even funnier is that Musk completely missed the actual parody of himself in the exact same episode.
01:25Because the finale introduced a character called the Disruptor.
01:28World's richest man.
01:29A tech billionaire obsessed with space, white fertility rates, and wearing black-on-black
01:33embroidered baseball caps. Well, in that episode, Homelander takes this guy into orbit and disposes
01:37him mid-flight, later casually telling everyone, he's an astronaut, I took him to space.
01:42When Deadline asked Kripke about the obvious Elon nod, Kripke joked,
01:45what made you think it was Elon Musk? Before explaining that they just needed one last perfect,
01:49satirical target to show where Homelander's head was at before the curtain closed.
01:53Now Elon is on X responding to others explaining, Kripke is simply projecting his own cowardice,
01:58with other critics claiming Kripke has a habit of making a fool of himself during series finales.
