Sean Penn Torches Hollywood For Being ‘Afraid’ Of Trump Biopic

Actor Sean Penn has some choice words for Hollywood.

The “Mystic River” star on Tuesday criticized the industry’s response to controversial biopic “The Apprentice,” which focuses on the life of GOP President-elect Donald Trump and faced a monthslong struggle to find U.S. distribution.

“It’s kind of jaw-dropping how afraid this ‘business of mavericks’ is when they get a great film like that with great, great acting,” Penn reportedlysaid at the Marrakech Film Festival in Morocco. “They, too, can be as afraid as a piddly little Republican congressman.”

Earlier this year, Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign had threatened legal action over what it called “election interference” on behalf of the “Apprentice” filmmakers, heighteningquestions about the movie’s ability to find distribution despite its warm reception from critics and audiences.

“The Apprentice,” which follows the rise of a young Trump (Sebastian Stan) under the unscrupulous tutelage of political fixer Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), was saved when Briarcliff Entertainment swooped in to distribute it.

Penn on Tuesday also slammed the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, saying he doesn’t “get very excited” for the Academy Awards unless a film he likes is honored.

The two-time Oscar winner said “the academy have exercised really extraordinary cowardice when it comes to being part of the bigger world of expression,” while also “limiting the imagination and being very limiting of different cultural expressions.”

Those remarks echoed comments Penn had made Sunday at the Marrakech Film Festival, when he lamented that there is a global “demand for diversity, but not diversity of behavior and not diversity of opinion or language. I would just encourage everybody to be as politically incorrect as their heart desires.”

Tesla Is No Longer Elon Musk’s Most Valuable Asset

**Breaking News: Tesla Falls Behind as Musk’s SpaceX Surges Ahead** In a stunning turn of events, Tesla is no longer the crown jewel of Elon Musk’s empire, as SpaceX has officially surpassed the electric vehicle giant in value for the first time in five years. Musk’s fortune, once heavily anchored by Tesla, has shifted dramatically following a series of alarming developments. Musk’s financial landscape took a hit after he funneled over $200 million into Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, but he rebounded quickly, briefly becoming the world’s first $400 billion individual. However, Tesla’s stock has since plummeted by 50%, exacerbated by disappointing delivery numbers and concerns over Musk’s divided attention as he juggles his new role in the Trump administration. Recent reports indicate that Tesla’s revenue growth has stagnated to a mere 1% in 2024, while net income has declined for the second consecutive year. Meanwhile, shocking drops in vehicle sales have been documented across key markets, including Germany, China, and Australia. As public sentiment turns against Musk, protests have erupted at Tesla dealerships nationwide, amplifying the urgency of the situation. The turmoil doesn’t end there. Musk’s appeal of a Delaware court ruling that invalidated a lucrative pay package has further complicated his financial stability. Forbes has slashed the value of Musk’s stock options by 50%, revealing that his stake in Tesla is now worth $97.8 billion, significantly less than the soaring valuation of SpaceX. With SpaceX’s value now estimated at $147 billion—almost $20 billion more than Musk’s Tesla holdings—this shift marks a seismic change in Musk’s financial narrative. SpaceX’s revenue surged by 51% to $13.1 billion in 2024, buoyed by the booming Starlink satellite internet service. As the dust settles, it’s clear that Musk’s fortunes are in flux, and the landscape of his empire is shifting dramatically. Stay tuned as we continue to monitor these developments closely.
