Elon Musk’s sister Tosca Musk had a bizarre reaction to her older brother’s public fallout with President Donald Trump—she decided to celebrate.
The founder of the sexy romance streaming platform Passionflix seemed overjoyed that her company was blowing up just as Musk and Trump’s relationship was.
“Due to the massive influx of viewers today on Passionflix the app is down,” she said on X Thursday.
The entrepreneur, 50, used her moment in the spotlight to promote the new movie The Black Dagger Brotherhood, which is a steamy adaption of J.R. Ward’s paranormal romance series. She nodded to the smutty vampire flick as she reassured watchers that the platform would be back in no time.
“Stay with us, we’re working on it!” she added. “Black Dagger Brotherhood!”
Musk’s sister believes “stories for women should be told by women” and “for the female gaze,” and so she co-founded the platform in 2017. She has since served as a director and producer on many of the projects.
The short platform outage, which was resolved Thursday evening, came as Musk’s brother went for the president’s jugular.
The tech billionaire began publicly feuding with Trump over his “Big, Beautiful Bill,” putting a four-month-long bromance on ice. After 130 days filled with a host of internal squabbles and scandals, the world’s richest man left the Trump administration for good last week (maybe).
His heated exchange with Trump escalated Thursday when he called for the president’s impeachment and claimed that he was included in the FBI’s files on alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Musk’s sister, for her part, seemed excited to have a wave of new viewers—regardless of why they were visiting.
“We’re back up! Continue watching,” she posted with a blushing emoji.
It’s not the first time that controversies surrounding Musk have rocked his sister’s career. Musk’s sister attended Trump’s inauguration with her mother, Maye, in January. When the Tesla CEO made a gesture there that resembled a Nazi salute, his sister’s site faced a huge backlash.
“Don’t shop at Naziflix,” said one commenter on its Facebook page.
After the online hate rolled in, the Passionflix founder told The Hollywood Reporter in February: “It’s unfathomable to me to think that anybody would think such negative things about my family.”
She has attended Trump inauguration-week parties and posed for photos with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but has also historically been a Democratic donor.
“There are so many people who have differing opinions to some of their family members, and it’s creating such a divide within families, and it shouldn’t,” she said, calling her relationship with her brother “close.”
As Passionflix gets a surge of hits this week, Musk’s own business is not doing so well. Reuters reported that Tesla stock is down 29.5 percent this year, and it plummeted 14 percent on Thursday after the ex-special government employee went head to head with Trump.
When asked for comment, reported the Daily Mail, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted.”
