Elon Musk Slams 'The Boys' Finale as Creator Cheers 1-Word Review

8 articles · Updated · Deadline · May 21

Elon Musk called The Boys finale "pathetic" after villain Homelander was stripped of his powers and left begging for his life in the last episode, "Blood and Bone."
Eric Kripke embraced the jab, reposting Musk's one-word review and writing that he would "never get a better review ever."
The finale also introduced "The Disruptor" — a rich space mogul with "Dark MAGA" cues — whom Homelander kills in orbit, a satirical target Kripke said had been pitched throughout the season.
Kripke said the brief scene was added to show Homelander's mindset in the final episode and to land one last satirical hit before the Prime Video series ended.
