'The Boys' Series Finale Sees Homelander Kill An Elon Mus...
mliss1578 · 2026-05-21 · via New York Post

Antony Starr‘s Homelander has added several names to his kill list through the years, but who would have thought that his final kill on The Boys would be a billionaire “amateur astronaut” who closely resembles none other than President Trump’s former second in command, Elon Musk.

The highly anticipated finale takes a beat from the action to take one last shot at the current administration. Homelander already has a lot on his mind – you know, like becoming God and taking control of the United States of America – but, as Oh Father (Daveed Diggs) describes it, a meeting with this billionaire must take precedence over all of that.

The “world’s richest man” Günter Van Ellis (played by Ivan Sherry) makes his values abundantly clear in the two brief minutes he has on screen in the series finale. “I’m a disrupter. I disrupt,” he tells Oh Father while wearing a “We Believe In Homelander” cap that looks bleakly similar to Musk’s dark MAGA hats. “I was thinking, why can’t Starlighters work in my factories as non-compensated employees?” And when Homelander walks in, Van Ellis presumptuously tells the Supe, “Homelander, I’m glad you’re here. I’d like to bend your ear about white fertility rates.”

Oh Father shares Günter has 17 children and is an “amateur astronaut.” Doesn’t that sound familiar? “He represents a consortium of billionaires and they have a few requests,” Oh Father tells Homelander. “They are the ruling class of America. To build your church, we’ll need their support.”

For someone like Homelander, taking out a seemingly all-powerful entity is nothing. (For regular American voters, not so much.) The Supe kindly walks the billionaire into the garden, as if they were going to take a stroll together, before suddenly flying off with him, and returning alone.

“He’s an astronaut. I took him to space,” Homelander tells Oh Father.

It’s so telling how readily Oh Father is willing to bend the knee to someone like Günter. Except Homelander, high off his newfound immortality and on the precipice of becoming a god, doesn’t have to answer to anybody.

“Listen to me, I don’t need anyone anymore. I don’t need billionaires,” he tells Oh Father.

The scene is such a pointed jab it’s impossible to ignore the comparisons. Viewers took to X, the social media platform Musk owns, to give the unbelievable moment a shoutout. “That Elon Musk parody in The Boys is so accurate lmao,” one user wrote, while others pointed out the show was parodying “his white genocide propaganda.”

The moment was likely written during the early days of Trump’s second term when Musk was still haunting the White House. Though Musk has since stepped away from running the Department of Government Efficiency – which laid off thousands of government employees under his short-lived stint leading it – the tech mogul seems to still be involved in President Trump’s administration. He recently traveled with Trump’s delegation to China, indicating he still has some political power in the administration despite reports claiming he fell out with Trump.

The Boys Season 5 has been depressingly prescient when it comes to fascism in America. The Boys Season 5, Episode 6 showed a golden Homelander statue being erected just days after a golden statue of Trump was raised at the Trump National Doral Miami golf course. Series creator Eric Kripke said he hoped such parallels between Homelander and fascistic leaders could help people identify “how insane and absurd and narcissistic it is.”

“If it’s helpful in that dialogue to point out the absurdity of it, as horrifying as it might be that it’s happening in reality, but if we’re able to help people point that out or maybe even help people, some people notice it in a way that maybe they wouldn’t have, then that’s a positive,” he said, per Entertainment Weekly.

Kripke added that the parallels are not necessarily on purpose, and Starr’s portrayal of Homelander is not in any way inspired by Trump.

“We legitimately were looking at other societies that have gone through a fascist swing in history,” he said. “We weren’t looking at Trump when we were coming up with a golden statue. I’m sure we were looking at, like, Saddam Hussein or something.”

The Boys had a knack for fictionalizing the most absurd, darkest parts of this nation’s right-ward shift in a way that felt all too close to reality. Now that the series is over, The Boys will go down as one of the most defining television shows of Trump era.

The Boys is streaming now on Prime Video.
