Elon Musk, who isn’t exactly winning popularity contests these days, managed to stir the pot again and this time it involved Sydney Sweeney’s chest.

The 54-year-old billionaire weighed in on the 28-year-old "Euphoria" star’s attire at the Los Angeles premiere of her new psychological thriller, "The Housemaid", and unsurprising some X users were not having it.

Sweeney stepped onto the red carpet in a busty white dress with a low-cut neckline and a feathered skirt, giving modern-day Marilyn Monroe energy.

But while the world fawned over her style, Musk decided to post a bizarre AI-generated graphic: a smiling woman with large breasts labeled: “What it looks like”, next to a body with a red, inflamed spine saying “Owie” in a childlike voice. The implication is that Sweeney’s boobs must be causing her back pain.

One would think a billionaire would have bigger fish to fry than commenting on someone's breasts.

Yes, large breasts can cause strain, chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, which is why some women opt for reductions. But here’s my chat,  Sweeney doesn’t need a lecture from a 50-something billionaire with his own… let’s call them “questionable features.”

Musk’s post came under heavy criticism, not just for the tone-deaf choice, but also because of the age gap alone which makes it uncomfortable and frankly, unnecessary.

C’mon, Musk. Maybe stick to rockets and Twitter chaos and leave women’s wardrobes and bodies out of it.

@greendragonhq commented: "She’s 30 years younger than you. Weird."

@kashskskl commented: "What is bro doing here?"

@lisa4rick3599 joked: "Elon can you design a comfortable supporting bra for us big boob girls ???" 

For Sweeney, the latest incident is just another example of the constant spotlight on her appearance.

She’s been open about the obsession with her body, earlier this year, during a "Vanity Fair" lie detector segment with co-star Amanda Seyfried.

She confirmed her breasts were natural, a claim the test backed up. Still, transparency hasn’t stopped the scrutiny, proving that no matter what she says or does, the internet loves to have an opinion.

Elon Musk weighed in on Sydney Sweeney’s premiere outfit with a meme about back pain and large breasts.
