Elon Musk’s recent decision to unfollow Rick and Morty on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked considerable speculation among fans and media alike. As a high-profile figure with a history of making headlines through his social media activity, Musk’s choice has left many curious about his reasons.
So, let’s delve deep into why did Elon Musk unfollow Rick and Morty on X.

Elon Musk, who once made a guest appearance on Rick and Morty, has recently unfollowed the show’s official page on X. This move seems to be connected to his support for Justin Roiland, the series’ co-creator who was recently dismissed following serious domestic violence allegations. Musk publicly defended Roiland, referring to him as “the heart of the show” when the controversy erupted.
Roiland, who had a close friendship with Musk, had even provided advice to the SpaceX founder during his acquisition of Twitter. Following Roiland’s dismissal, Musk’s unfollowing of Rick and Morty is seen as a gesture of solidarity with his friend. However, fans of the show have had their own interpretations of the situation. One fan humorously wrote on X, “Rick and Morty on ketamine isn’t the same as it is on weed Elons realizing” (via Cracked).
Caitie Delaney, who wrote the episode featuring Musk’s character Elon Tusk, expressed no surprise at Musk’s decision. She posted on X, “Did he hear the writer of the episode he guest stars in hates his guts (me).”
