Despite the myriad reasons not to, billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk continues to have legions of fans who fawn over him, eager to join his cult of personality.

But legendary actor Christine Baranski is officially and emphatically not one of them.


A photo of Baranski seeming to glare at Musk was one of the many viral highlights of this year's Met Gala, as the expression on her face seemed to telegraph a barely restrained snarl of disgust.

Well, we need wonder no more about what we saw, because in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Baranski unequivocally confirmed that the photo showed exactly what it looks like it showed.

In case you've forgotten, see the snap below.

Whew, if looks could kill, right? Baranski told EW that show she has no memory of the moment, the feelings it seems to capture are right on. She shadily explained to the magazine:

"The funny thing is I have no memory of turning back and glaring at him, but I was actually dissing him as I was waiting in line to go to dinner."

*leans in shadily* Do tell us more, Ms. Baranski.

"I was with someone who was at my table, and I noticed Elon Musk and I went, 'Oh my God, it's Elon Musk.' I basically said [to my friend], '...why is he spending billions of dollars in space when he could be cleaning up the planet?'...
"I must have at some point turned back and looked, but I did not pose for that picture."

It's always the candid shots that best capture our true feelings!

In an understated line that would be right in character for Agnes van Rhijn, the high-class, low-patience taskmaster she plays on HBO's The Golden Age, Baranski added:

"I have a low opinion of these billionaires."

On Twitter, people absolutely loved Baranski's shady take on this problematic billionaire.









It's not just in the pages of EW that Baranski is dragging Musk, however. She's also subtly pillorying him on her CBS show The Good Fight. She told the magazine:

"I get to bash the billionaires a bit. I've added a few lines, and I actually will include Elon Musk in the final episode."

EW added that she delivered that information with a "regal, defiant cackle." Your move, Elon!

If you're a celebrity's kid, you just can't win. Use your family's pull and you're a "nepo baby"; try to fundraise to start your own business and you're a shady grifter.

At least, that's how one celebrity spawn seems to feel.

Treasury Secretary Shows Off New $100 Bills With Trump's Signature—And Critics Have Thoughts

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent did not get a positive response after appearing on Fox News host Jesse Watters' program to show off bills that include President Donald Trump's signature set to enter circulation soon in honor of the nation’s 250th birthday.

Federal law generally prohibits depicting living people on U.S. currency. However, the Treasury Department has argued that the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020, which Trump signed during his first term, provides the administration with legal authority to make an exception for commemorative designs tied to the nation's semiquincentennial celebrations.

Reporter Alison Hammond Hilariously Ditches Live Segment To Bumrush Prince Harry For A Hug In Now-Viral Clip

Alison Hammond reacted to seeing Prince Harry the same way many people probably would—she just happened to do it on live television. In a matter of seconds, the live segment transformed into a decidedly Prince Charming encounter between the presenter and the royal.

Hammond was in her hometown of Birmingham on Friday to speak with the Duke of Sussex about the Invictus Games, which will arrive in the city next year. The interview, however, briefly became secondary the moment she spotted Prince Harry approaching from behind.
