Jennifer Aniston makes scathing comment about Elon Musk after love interest comparison

Jennifer Aniston has made her feelings about Elon Musk very clear in a recent interview.

Aniston is preparing for the release of the fourth season of her hit drama The Morning Show, which lands on Apple TV+ in the very near future (September 17, to be exact).

The Friends alumni plays Alex Levy in show, and she received a Screen Actors Guild Award for it in 2020.

Joining Aniston on screen is a host of other famous faces. From Reese Witherspoon, to Steve Carell, to Billy Crudup, without forgetting Julianna Margulies, it's safe to say that Apple didn't hold back when it came to its casting budget.

As we all eagerly wait for the return of her show, Aniston has graced the cover of Vanity Fair for its September issue.

She sat down with the magazine for a lengthy interview and, much to people's surprise, Elon Musk was weaved into the conversation.

While not many people would link Aniston and Musk to one another, he came up in the chat in light of him being compared to Aniston's on-screen love interest Paul Marks, who is portrayed by Mad Men favorite Jon Hamm.

Marks is a billionaire businessman with a keen interest in rockets. Sound familiar? Aniston's interviewer noted that Hamm's character 'seems reminiscent of Elon Musk'.

But the actress quickly shut down the comparison and said of the SpaceX founder: "I don’t find him desirable in any way or shape."

It's unclear if Musk will be mentioned in the upcoming season, but it's expected that Donald Trump will be, as season four begins in 2024 when the now-president started his campaign.

In light of The Morning Show not shying away from covering real-life events and politics (the previous season addressed Roe vs. Wade being overturned in June 2022), Aniston shared with Vanity Fair: "Making a TV show about political coverage in a deeply divisive time can be tricky. You want to appeal to all audiences."

Elsewhere in her interview, Aniston also made some rare remarks about her divorce from Brad Pitt.

Speaking about her movie The Break-Up coming shortly after her split from Pitt, she was worried it was look 'insensitive' for her to take on the role alongside Vince Vaughn.

"It was kind of cathartic to go right from that," Aniston said. "When they came to me with the offer they were a little nervous about making it because they thought ‘ohh, is this insensitive’ or ‘is it inappropriate.’ But I actually thought what a great opportunity."

She added: "I knew it would kind of benefit me emotionally just as a human being and serve the script and the character pretty well."
