Elon Musk Backs Gina Carano in Legal Battle Against Disney
In a surprising turn of events, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has thrown his support behind actress Gina Carano in her legal dispute with Disney and Lucasfilm.
Carano, known for her role as Cara Dune in the popular series ‘The Mandalorian’, was controversially ousted from the show in 2021 due to remarks she made on social media. Musk, aged 52, has now stepped in to offer financial backing to the 41-year-old actress’s lawsuit against the entertainment giants.
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), Carano expressed her astonishment at Musk’s intervention, recalling his earlier statement offering legal representation to individuals who had been removed from social media platforms for expressing their right to free speech.
In her tweet, Carano stated, “To my surprise, a few months ago I received an email from a lawyer who had been hired by X to look into my story and many others.”
Expressing her gratitude to Musk and X for their support, Carano emphasized the significance of this unexpected assistance in her legal battle against Disney.
In response, Musk reaffirmed his commitment to the cause on Twitter, inviting others affected by similar circumstances to join the lawsuit against Disney.
The involvement of Musk, who acquired Twitter for $44 billion in 2022, adds a new dimension to Carano’s legal proceedings, amplifying the spotlight on issues surrounding free speech and corporate accountability in the entertainment industry.
