Elon Musk is making headlines again! This time, he took to his platform X to throw a playful jab at Ellen DeGeneres, who had just made news for relocating from the United States to the United Kingdom.
It all began when news broke that DeGeneres, 66, and her wife Portia de Rossi had settled into a new home in England’s picturesque Cotswolds, a move that came just ahead of the recent U.S. presidential election.
Musk couldn’t resist weighing in on her decision. He re-posted an earlier X post, which seemed to suggest that DeGeneres may have had insider knowledge about the alleged “freak off” parties hosted by Sean Combs.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s New Life in Rural England?
It’s not every day that a major celebrity steps off the well-worn path of fame and fortune for something quieter, more peaceful. Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have decided to leave behind their idyllic Montecito estate and move to rural England.
According to a source, the election of Donald Trump was the main factor behind their decision, as they shared with friends (via The Wrap).
Although the comedian had secured their new home in the UK back in October, they seized the chance “to get the hell out” of the US after Trump’s victory (via TMZ).
DeGeneres has always been an open book, and she hasn’t held back in sharing how life has unfolded for her recently. In her comedy special, she revealed a side of herself few expected. “I decided to take up gardening”, she quipped, sharing how she’s spent more time tending to chickens than chasing headlines (per The Wrap).
DeGeneres, who wrapped up her long-running talk show in May 2022, found a home in the U.K. that she instantly fell in love with. It didn’t take long for her to make the decision to plant roots there. The source shared (via PEOPLE):
Ellen was in England house hunting in the beginning of October. She ended up finding a house that she loved and purchased it shortly after.
After years in the entertainment business, DeGeneres and her wife are embracing a change of pace. Their recent visit to The Farmer’s Dog, a cozy pub in the Cotswolds, showed just how much they’re settling into their new life. The source added (via PEOPLE):
They hung out with [Jeremy Clarkson’s partner, actress] Lisa Hogan and James Blunt, and The Corrs performed at the pub.
Although the move to England was likely influenced by shift in the US political scene and DeGeneres’ career, it can be more than just an escape—it’s a fresh start.
Elon Musk Takes a Shot at Ellen DeGeneres Amid Her Move to the UK
Elon Musk has a knack for keeping things interesting—whether it’s launching rockets into space or poking fun at Hollywood’s elite. And it seems he couldn’t resist taking a jab at Ellen DeGeneres after news surfaced that she is leaving the United States and made her home in the UK.
But what really caught Musk’s attention wasn’t just her move—it was a strange connection to her past friendships, specifically with Diddy.
Musk shared a post from another X user who had captured a screenshot of a birthday message DeGeneres sent to Diddy back in 2016. In it, she humorously called him “Cuddle McSnugglestuff” and offered a cheerful birthday wish.
Musk simply added a raised eyebrow emoji, hinting that there was more to the story without saying anything. He appeared to agree with the post that suggested it explained why she left the country after the election, referencing Sean Combs’ scandals.
Some fans couldn’t help but speculate that DeGeneres’ friendship with Diddy—and the strange comments she had made about his parties—might explain why she chose to “get the hell out” of the U.S. after Donald Trump’s election.
