Christine Baranski Wrote an Elon Musk Insult Into The Good Fight Finale

Christine Baranski is not a fan of Elon Musk — and she's not afraid to say it.

Baranski has been open about her distaste for billionaires, and she told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published Wednesday that she was able to vent her frustration in the final season of The Good Fight.

The upcoming season reintroduces Neil Gross (John Benjamin Hickey), the founder of Chumhum, The Good Fight's version of Google.

"We have our own Elon Musk in The Good Fight," said Baranski. "Neil Gross is in the second-to-last episode, and I get to bash the billionaires a bit. I've added a few lines [to the script], and I actually will include Elon Musk in the final episode."

Baranski has previously expressed her disdain for Musk. At the 2022 Met Gala, photographer Sinna Nasseri snapped a photo of Baranski glaring at the billionaire, and it quickly went viral. Her daughter then gifted her a framed print of the image, which was shared on Twitter.

"The funny thing is I have no memory of turning back and glaring at him, but I was actually dissing him as I was waiting in line to go to dinner," Baranski told EW.

"I was with someone who was at my table, and I noticed Elon Musk and I went, 'Oh my God, it's Elon Musk.' I basically said [to my friend], 'I don't know how you feel about him, but why is he spending billions of dollars in space when he could be cleaning up the planet?' I'm an environmentalist. I must have at some point turned back and looked, but I did not pose for that picture."

The Good Fight Season 6 premieres September 8 on Paramount+.
