Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg Join Forces with Elon Musk for “Non-Woke” Film Studio Focused on Traditional Values
In a surprising and bold move that’s generating waves in both Hollywood and Silicon Valley, actors Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg have reportedly teamed up with tech billionaire Elon Musk to launch a major new film studio. The investment? A staggering $1 to $3 billion — all aimed at creating what the trio describes as a “non-woke” alternative to the modern entertainment industry, with a focus on promoting traditional family values.
The studio, still unnamed as of early announcements, aims to challenge what they believe is the dominant progressive narrative in Hollywood. It is designed to offer audiences films and series grounded in faith, patriotism, and timeless moral values — themes that the founders claim are underrepresented in today’s mainstream content.
According to reports circulating on platforms like Jiji and alternative news sources, the project has been quietly in development for several months. The official announcement sparked both praise and backlash, with supporters applauding the move as a “return to decency” and critics accusing the trio of trying to politicize entertainment further.
Mel Gibson, known for directing powerful, often religious-themed films such as The Passion of the Christ and Hacksaw Ridge, has long been an outspoken figure in Hollywood. His involvement suggests the new studio may emphasize storytelling steeped in faith, redemption, and human courage.
Mark Wahlberg, who has increasingly spoken publicly about his Catholic faith and the importance of family, has also expressed frustration with the direction of Hollywood. In several interviews, Wahlberg emphasized the need for more “wholesome” and “family-affirming” content — a sentiment that aligns closely with the studio’s mission.
Elon Musk, though best known for Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter), has recently taken a keen interest in culture and media. His vocal criticisms of political correctness and “wokeness” on social media platforms make his participation in this venture not entirely unexpected. Musk’s financial backing could also ensure the studio has the resources to compete with established industry giants like Disney and Netflix.
One executive close to the venture said, “This isn’t about politics. It’s about offering a choice. Families across the country are hungry for stories that uplift, that celebrate virtues like honor, sacrifice, and love — stories that bring people together.”
While details about the studio’s first slate of projects are still under wraps, insiders hint that they will include epic historical dramas, faith-based family films, and even action movies with a moral spine. There’s also talk of a distribution platform that bypasses traditional streaming giants and focuses on direct-to-consumer engagement.
Critics have dismissed the idea as pandering to a narrow demographic, but the founders appear undeterred. With billions potentially on the table and names as high-profile as Gibson, Wahlberg, and Musk attached, this new venture could reshape the entertainment landscape — or at the very least, provide a powerful alternative voice in it.
