Just 30 minutes after Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson publicly announced his historic handshake with tech billionaire Elon Musk, former President Donald Trump had a surprising and shocking reaction. In a controversial statement, Trump asserted that The Rock would be “the next person to be deported from the United States” if he returned to the White House. This statement immediately became the focus of the media, igniting a wave of fierce debate across the country.
The incident began when The Rock and Elon Musk appeared together at a special cooperation announcement. Although the details of the agreement between the two are not clear, the media has called it an “alliance between muscle and technology”. The image of The Rock and Musk’s powerful handshake spread at a dizzying speed on social media, and is considered by many to be a symbol of the combination of Hollywood power and Silicon Valley intelligence.
However, the joy did not last long when Donald Trump – who is known for his strong and uncompromising statements – made a threat. According to many sources, Trump expressed anger when he saw The Rock publicly siding with Musk, whom he had repeatedly attacked on social platforms. In a speech that was said to have taken place at a private event, Trump emphasized: “Does he (The Rock) think that standing with Musk will make him safe? No! If I return to the White House, he will be the next person to be deported from the United States. I will announce that publicly.”
This threat was shocking not only because of its seriousness, but also because The Rock is one of the most beloved international stars in the US. He is not only a famous action actor, but also a symbol of the American dream: from a professional wrestler, The Rock has risen to become an A-list actor, a successful businessman and has a great influence on the public. To many, the idea of “deporting The Rock from the US” sounds like a joke. However, for Trump, this could be a political ploy to send a strong message to Musk and those who stand by him.
Immediately after Trump’s statement, social media exploded with countless mixed comments. The Rock’s fans expressed their outrage, saying that using a Hollywood star as a tool in a political war is unacceptable. Many fans wrote: “The Rock has contributed to American culture for many years, what right does he (Trump) have to deport him?” On the contrary, some Trump supporters said that he was just showing a tough stance towards public figures who collaborate with Musk, who often confronts the government and the traditional political system.
As for The Rock, he has remained silent up to this point. No official statement has been made, but many sources close to The Rock revealed that The Rock was quite “stunned” by the harshness of Trump’s words. Some newspapers also questioned: Will The Rock step into politics in the near future, and is this the reason why he has become the target of Trump’s attacks?
Elon Musk, The Rock’s “new ally”, has not responded yet. However, looking at Musk’s usual style on Twitter/X, observers believe that this billionaire will find it difficult to stay silent for too long. A sarcastic comment or a tweet mocking Trump can appear at any time, even making the incident explode even more.
This incident is not simply a war of words. It exposes the deep polarization in American society, where even pop culture icons like The Rock are caught up in the political vortex. In the public eye, the story is no longer just about “who is against whom”, but a warning that anyone who dares to openly cooperate with Elon Musk could become a target of Donald Trump’s attack.
Will Trump really turn his threat into action? Or is this just a publicity stunt, a statement to assert power before the tumultuous political stage? The answer is still open. But one thing is certain: the handshake between The Rock and Elon Musk has become not only a symbolic event, but also the beginning of a new media war, where Hollywood, technology and politics collide fiercely like never before.
