Elon Musk Is Helping Gina Carano Sue Her Way Back Onto ‘The Mandalorian’

Elon Musk is backing Gina Carano's new wrongful termination lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm over her firing from 'The Mandalorian.'

To get a sense of the tenor of the suit, and the arguments it’s trying to make, look no further than its opening lines: “A short time ago in a galaxy not so far away, Defendants made it clear that only one orthodoxy in thought, speech, or action was acceptable in their empire, and that those who dared to question or failed to fully comply would not be tolerated. Carano alleges that Disney’s “harassment campaign” against her included demanding additional public apologies after finding some of her social media statements about her posts “insufficient.” She also claims that the defendants tried to get her to participate in a Zoom call with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and 45 employees who identified as members of the LGBTQ+ community. His employment was not terminated, and Defendants made no public statements about his social media posts, much less refer to them as ‘abhorrent.’” (A rep for Pascal did not immediately return Rolling Stone ’s request for comment.)
