Richard Gere caused a surprise when he announced that he was leaving the United States to move to Spain with his family and said that he would never return. This decision quickly attracted public attention, especially when he revealed that the main reason was related to Elon Musk.
According to sources close to him, Richard Gere is becoming increasingly frustrated with the social and political situation in the United States. He believes that the growing role of tech billionaires, especially Elon Musk, is changing the nature of American society in a direction he cannot accept. Gere is said to disagree with Musk’s influence in fields such as media, technology and the environment.
Gere’s decision was not only a geographic move, but also a strong statement about his personal values and how he wanted to protect his family from the negative impacts he felt in the United States. He and his family decided to settle in Spain, where Gere had a long-standing relationship and always felt at peace. Spain is also the country where he invested in real estate many years ago and which he visits frequently.
While he did not specifically name Elon Musk in his public statements, many believe he hinted at Musk’s growing influence on important issues such as his ownership of Twitter and the impact of his SpaceX space projects on the global environment. Gere has publicly advocated for environmental protection and human rights policies, something that concerned him when he saw how some tech billionaires were using their financial and technological power.
Gere’s decision has generated mixed reactions. Some support him for his honesty and firmness in his personal values, while others criticize him for “running away” instead of participating in the change of American society.
Richard Gere, best known for his roles in films such as Pretty Woman and An Officer and a Gentleman, has spent recent years focusing on charitable causes, especially supporting refugees and protecting human rights. His decision to leave the United States is seen as the next step in protecting the values he has always pursued.
Gere’s family is currently settling into a quiet countryside in Spain, where he hopes to find balance and peace in his life. In a brief statement, he shared: “I want to live a meaningful life, where my values don’t conflict with my surroundings. Spain is where I feel I belong.”
