Again in November 2024, Musk referred to as him a “r*tard” for voting for Kamala Harris, in a reference to Stiller’s 2008 movie, Tropic Thunder. Extra lately, he reposted misinformation alleging that Stiller was paid by USAID for a humanitarian journey to Ukraine. All of this was introduced up throughout Stiller’s current interview with Tim Miller for The Bulwark, and it led to some hilarious dream-casting for a Tropic Thunder sequel.

    “I am obligated to deliver up the truth that the Shadow President, Elon Musk, did tweet that you just “went full r*tard above a choose of you together with your endorsement of Kamala Harris,” defined host Tim Miller. “I assume it was a quote of Tropic Thunder. That is acquired to be type of surreal, like, ‘That is the place we’re at?’ I see this man tweeting the R-slur at you, and likewise, I assume, taking on places of work within the West Wing?”

    “Nicely, that a part of it [is surreal,” responded Stiller. “I mean, with whatever he’s tweeting, you know, I would think he might have better things to do with his time, or, like, with his rocket ships or whatever it is. Like, the guy’s got to be busy. But I think what’s more disturbing is, yeah, how close he is to the President, and how involved he is in making decisions about people’s jobs and our government, when he has no position there.”

    “I’m just spitballing right now,” said , “but if you offer him, like, a spot in Tropic Thunder 2, we might be able to get out of some of this stuff.”

    “Maybe he wants to finance it,” added Stiller. “Drop in the bucket. Can we have two or $300 million?”

    “He’s financing, you give him a bit role —”

    “I’m not gonna say Simple Jack,” interjected Stiller.

    “— and you just say, ‘In exchange for that, can we get, like, USAID back?’ I think that seems like as good an idea as any. These guys love attention.” Stiller responded by saying:

    I would be happy to keep him busy doing that, so he’s not doing the other stuff he’s going to be doing the next four years.

    The ‘Tropic Thunder’ Spinoff Fans Wanted 17 Years Ago Gets Disappointing Update From Ben Stiller

    Fans of ‘Tropic Thunder’s larger-than-life Les Grossman have just had a disappointing update on his possible return.

    “I don’t understand how we got here,” added Stiller in a more serious vein. “But I think also, the whole thing that’s going on now with the super rich people in the world who are all behind him has been really concerning, obviously. And I think it’s not really that surprising. I guess it’s human nature, and it’s greed, and it’s power, and it’s all the things that human beings do and have done throughout history. But, you know, it’s happening. There’s no revelation there.”

    Elon Musk Reposted USAID Lies About Ben Stiller on Twitter (Currently Known as X)

    Universal Pictures

    Actor Ben Stiller, USAID, and Elon Musk have digitally danced before. Musk (along with Donald Trump Jr. and convicted liar Sidney Powell) reposted a video (falsely representing itself as E! News and misspelling a variety of names and words) from Feb. 5, 2025, claiming that USAID paid a variety of actors to visit Ukraine as an act of propaganda. Ben Stiller was alleged to have been paid $4 million for his visit (alongside other actors, such as Angelina Jolie, Sean Penn, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Orlando Bloom).

    It was a baseless claim from a fabricated video which even has community notes on Musk’s own platform, and Stiller denied it on Twitter (currently known as X), writing: “Totally false. Untrue. These are lies coming from Russian media. I completely self-funded my humanitarian trip to Ukraine. There was no funding from USAID and certainly no personal payments.” Ben Stiller was in fact a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. UNHCR confirmed that he was never paid to visit Ukraine in a statement from the UN Refugee Agency:

    “In response to media enquiries, we confirm that Goodwill Ambassador Ben Stiller is not compensated for his work with UNHCR and self-funds his travel. Ben has been supporting UNHCR since 2016 and has been a Goodwill Ambassador since 2018. We are grateful for Ben’s longstanding support to refugees and forcibly displaced people.”

    Ben Stiller’s massive hit Severance is currently airing its second season on Apple TV+. According to The Independent and others, Elon Musk is currently dismantling the FAA for personal profit.
