Robyn Reveals She Hated Elon Musk “Way Before It Was Cool”

Swedish pop icon Robyn shares her early disdain for Elon Musk, sparking a candid conversation about space, democracy, and artistry.

If you thought Robyn’s music was fierce, wait till you hear her take on Elon Musk. The Swedish pop sensation didn’t just jump on the bandwagon of disliking the Tesla and SpaceX CEO—she claims to have “hated him way before it was cool.” That’s some serious commitment to an unpopular opinion, and it comes straight from the heart on the Las Culturistas podcast.

Robyn’s Early Beef with Elon Musk

Robyn’s candid confession came during the podcast’s hot-take segment, “I Don’t Think So Honey,” where her bite-sized opinions shine. Speaking about Musk, she said:

“I always hated him, way before it was cool to hate him… because there was a time where [it] wasn’t cool to hate him.”

The pop star’s disdain didn’t come out of nowhere. For her, the turning point was when Musk launched a Tesla car into space accompanied by a David Bowie song. As Robyn puts it, “He actually shot a car into space, as if there wasn’t enough shit floating around.”

Robyn shares her bold opinion on Elon Musk and his space ventures.

She goes deeper, articulating a concern that space should be a democratic realm, not just a playground for billionaires’ whims:

“I think there should be democracy in space. There should be democracy on Earth, too, yes, which we maybe don’t even have at the moment. But the fact that any commercial company can decide what to do with natural resources and also do tacky things, like sending a stupid fucking car into space that’s also dangerous for people — think about the astronauts that are up there in the International Space Station and they don’t really know what’s going to hit them or whatever.”

Robyn’s critique blends her sharp wit with genuine concern, a mix that feels refreshingly raw and honest.

Robyn’s New Album: A Sensual Journey

While her thoughts on Musk are captivating, Robyn is also gearing up to drop her first album in eight years, titled Sexistential, which is set to hit the airwaves on March 27 via Young.

The anticipation is real, especially with singles like ‘Dopamine’, the title track ‘Sexistential’, and ‘Talk To Me’ already out in the wild, showing a vibrant new chapter in Robyn’s career.

Delving into the album’s themes, Robyn shares a poetic insight:

“Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song. It’s such a beautiful kind of sensitive vibration that takes so much work to keep afloat. I feel like the purpose of my life is to stay horny – it doesn’t even have to be about sex, but it’s feeling sensual and attracted to things that I enjoy, and not letting anything take over that.”

You can pre-save or pre-order Sexistential.

Robyn’s Legacy and Underdog Spirit

Robyn has been a beacon for many fans since her teenage years, owning her fame and transforming it into a liberating force rather than a cage. In a previous interview in 2018, she reflected on the challenges and thrills of early stardom:

“I became ‘famous’ – whatever – at a very young age, it was really scary for me, and something I really struggled with at the beginning in my teenage years. I’ve always wanted to own the situation and demystify it. Not the music or the feelings, but I wanted it not to scare me. I wanted to feel like it liberated me…”

Her underdog spirit also extends to her love of football, specifically Tottenham Hotspurs, a team she admires because they battled back from tough odds:

“I like that they really sucked, and they’ve battled back! They’re not giving up! If you meet these big teams, with all this celebrity and money, and star players, you have to own up to it, and not let go of your idea of yourself. They’re underdogs.”

Fans who caught her 2018 release Honey will remember it as a subversion of expectations, earning a solid four-star review for its boldness and innovation.
