Los Angeles: Oscar 2025 ceremony held at the famous Dolby Theater site in Los Angeles has not gone down well with billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk.

Musk slammed the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on “Representation and Inclusion Standards”, arguing that enrollment in categories such as the best pictures and acting should be purely based on merit and not affected by variety quota.

The enrollment should be based only on merit, he said.

“This is a mess. It should be the best that is best, not the best with a starving!” Musk wrote on X.

The “representation and inclusion standards” of the academy introduced in 2020, is a set of guidelines, aimed at promoting justified representation in Hollywood, with rashes, ethnic, gender and disability groups to be eligible for Oscar at Academy Awards. It essentially pushes for more diversity and offscreen.

According to the official guidelines of the Academy, one of the most prominent actors or one of the important supporters in a best-based film should have a racial racial or ethnic group.
