Elon Musk appears to have weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding actress Megan Fox.
The billionaire businessman, 51, said in a Tweet Sunday, ‘Looking to hire a VP of Witchcraft & Propaganda,’ after Fox referred to herself as a ‘witch’ amid a social media row with conservative commentator Robby Starbuck, who was critical of how the 37-year-old actress is raising her three sons.
The tweet from the owner of Tesla and Twitter owner garnered a number of responses, including multiple mentions of Fox following her remarks.
In response to one user who told the Pretoria, South Africa native that Fox is ‘bad at propaganda,’ Musk replied, ‘Nobody is perfect.’
Musk’s tweets came a day after Fox furiously hit back at a ‘clout chaser’ who accused her of having ‘forced’ her sons to dress up in girls clothing.

The Transformers actress shares her sons Noah, 10, Bodhi, nine, and Journey, six, with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green.
Robby Starbuck, who ran for U.S. Congress in 2022, claimed to have witnessed two of the former couple’s 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren say ‘they were forced by their mom to wear girls clothes as their nanny tried to console them.’
Starbuck, 34, a Republican from California, tweeted that he ‘used to live in the same gated community’ as the famous family and that their kids ‘played at the park.’
Fox fired up her Instagram and lambasted Starbuck for using ‘𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren as leverage or social currency,’ adding that ‘exploiting my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥’s gender identity to gain attention in your political campaign has put you on the wrong side of the universe’ and declaring defiantly: ‘you f***ed with the wrong witch.’
Addressing Starbuck directly, she wrote: ‘i really don’t want to give you this attention because clearly youre a clout chaser but let me teach you something…
She fumed: ‘irregardless of how desperate you may become at any given time to acquire wealth, power, success, or fame – never use 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren as leverage or social currency. especially under malevolent and erroneous pretense.’
Fox doubled down: ‘exploiting my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥’s gender identity to gain attention in your political campaign has put you on the wrong side of the universe.’
The Jennifer’s Body actress concluded: ‘i have been burned at the stake by insecure narcissistic impotent little men like you many times and yet i’m still here you f***ed with the wrong witch.’

Her livid Instagram broadside comes after her ex-husband gave an interview vociferously denying Starbuck’s version of events.
‘It’s a totally bogus story. There are only a few people in their world that can actually verify whether or not a story like this is true and I can tell you with absolute certainty it is not,’ the Beverly Hills, 90210 star told TMZ.
He continued: ‘This person trying to claim this is true is a perfect example of someone with selfish motives that does not care about negatively affecting a parent 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 relationship.’
In his original tweet, Starbuck posted a picture of Megan with her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and wrote: ‘These are Megan Fox’s sons. We used to live in the same gated community and our kids played at the park.’

He continued: ‘I saw 2 of them have a full on breakdown saying they were forced by their mom to wear girls clothes as their nanny tried to console them. It’s pure 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 abuse. Pray for them.’
Green and Fox went public with the collapse of their marriage in May 2020, months after they initially split.
Along with his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren by Fox, Green also has a 21-year-old son named Kassius Lijah Marcil-Green from his past relationship with Vanessa Marcil, as well as an 11-month-old 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 boy called Zane Walker with his fiancée Sharna Burgess.
In 2019, Fox declared that her eldest ‘doesn’t care’ about being made fun of for wearing dresses to school.
‘He designs, he draws outfits. He’s very talented, but he’s still six,’ she said during an interview on The Talk. ”He’s really into fashion. He’s the one, like sometimes, he’ll dress himself and he likes to wear dresses, sometimes.’
‘And I send him to a really liberal, like hippy school,’ she continued. ‘But even there, here in California, he still has little boys going like, “Boys don’t wear dresses,” or “Boys don’t wear pink.”‘
Despite the taunts from other boys, Fox said she had been teaching her son to follow his own course in life.
‘We’re going through that now, where I’m trying to teach him to be confident no matter what anyone else says.’

On the defense: In 2017, Green stood up for his son when Fox shared a photo of Noah wearing a dress from the Disney film Frozen
At the time, the Jennifer’s Body star explained that Noah had briefly stopped wearing dresses, but began wearing them again.
‘He came home and I was like, “How was it? Did any of the friends at school have anything to say?” And he was like, “Well, all the boys laughed when I came in,” but he’s like, “I don’t care, I love dresses too much.”‘
In 2017, Green stood up for his son when Fox shared a photo of Noah wearing a dress from the Disney film Frozen.
‘My son, he’s four,’ he said at the time. ‘I’ve heard from some people that they don’t agree with him wearing dresses. To them I say, I don’t care. He’s four and if he wants to wear it then he wears it.
‘And it’s dresses or goggles or slippers or whatever. It’s his life, they’re not my clothes,’ he continued. ‘I feel like at 4 at 5, that’s a time when he should be having fun. He’s not harming anyone wearing a dress. So if he wants to wear a dress, good on him.’
