Some praised The Rock for speaking out against Musk’s growing influence in various industries, while others were confused about the intent behind the message.

Musk responded with a cryptic tweet referencing The Rock’s iconic wrestling catchphrase, “If you smell… what progress is cooking,” leaving many unsure whether he was dismissing the threat or playfully engaging in banter. The exchange led to a flurry of media attention, with some interpreting The Rock’s statement as frustration with Musk’s expanding role in fields beyond his expertise, like AI and media control.
