Elon Musk Supports Gina Carano's Lawsuit Against Disney Over 'Mandalorian' Firing

Elon Musk is funding a wrongful-termination lawsuit filed by former "Mandalorian" actress Gina Carano against Disney, after she was dropped from the show in 2021 for posting baseless conspiracy theories and right-wing views on social media. Carano's lawsuit seeks to have her character reinstated and recast, and she is also suing for punitive damages. Musk's support for Carano comes amid his ongoing criticism of Disney and its CEO, Robert A. Iger, following a pause in advertising spending on his platform, X, by Disney and other major advertisers.
