Is Gina Carano Joining Forces with Elon Musk Against Disney?

Gina Carano gained global recognition for her role alongside Pedro Pascal in ‘The Mandalorian.’ Her character was tailored to fit the actress, quickly becoming one of the series’ most beloved figures. However, Carano’s tenure with Disney came to an abrupt end when she was let go, leading to her character being written out of the show—a saga that unfolded prominently online.

The reasons behind her departure are well-known: Disney chose not to renew her contract due to her political and ideological views, particularly her outspoken statements against “woke” culture. This divergence from Disney’s policies ultimately led to her exit from The Mandalorian, where she had played a prominent role, and the series continued without her.

Carano has initiated legal action against Disney with the aim of either regaining her position or seeking compensation. She has also been vocal in criticizing her former employer whenever possible. In a comprehensive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Carano disclosed that she has received notable support in her efforts against Disney.

The feud between Carano and Disney has been one of the most heated and intense in recent years. While Disney has maintained a mostly civil response, Carano has been outspoken, drawing significant interest from the public. As previously mentioned, Carano’s grievances have escalated to the courtroom, where she appears to have garnered influential support.

“I think it’s pretty incredible what he is doing. A lot of billionaires put their money into buying islands and building bunkers. Elon Musk is using his money to fight massive injustice battles.”

Let’s clarify this a bit. Carano herself clarified that she has never personally spoken to Musk. However, the billionaire once posted the following on his platform:

“If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill. No limit.”

Since Carano’s situation stems from a similar issue, the interview strongly suggests that Musk is financing Carano’s legal expenses against her former employer, which adds an intriguing dimension.

It’s known that Musk has had disagreements with Disney over advertising rights, and the interview quotes him as saying:

“If someone is going to try to blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourself. Hey, Bob [Iger], if you’re in the audience. That’s how I feel, don’t advertise.”

Meanwhile, both Disney and Musk have chosen not to respond to Carano’s remarks. However, it appears evident that Musk is aligning with the actress to potentially impact the world’s largest media company significantly.
