Richard Gere surprised many when he announced his departure from the United States to relocate to Spain with his family, stating that he would not return. This choice quickly garnered public interest, particularly when he indicated that a significant factor behind it was related to Elon Musk,

Sources close to Gere reveal that he has grown increasingly disillusioned with the social and political climate in America. He perceives the rising influence of technology billionaires, notably Elon Musk, as a transformative force in American society that he finds unacceptable. Gere reportedly disagrees with Musk’s impact on various sectors, including media, technology, and environmental issues.
