Elon Musk has divided the internet by sharing a ‘secret’ photo of ex-girlfriend Amber Heard dressed as the video game character Mercy from Overwatch.
While many users on his X platform (formerly Twitter) praised the post, there were a couple of people who were offended by the billionaire’s decision to publicly share the image.
‘Sorta goes without saying but Elon Musk tweeting out a photo of Amber Heard in cosplay for his weird fanboys to drool over is f***ing disgusting,’ raged journalist Marlow Stern.
‘Elon Musk sharing that picture of Amber Heard in cosplay is skeezy,’ wrote another.
‘Sounds like a sad life. At least he’s got a few little kids to keep him company,’ said a different user, named Danielle.

While the majority of users on Musk’s X platform praised the post, a handful of people took issue with it
Danielle also pointed out that most of the positive comments were coming from Musk’s male followers.
‘Huge divide between male and female comments here,’ she posted. ‘Guys, don’t do this.’
Indeed, the post did attract its fair share of praise, with a huge portion of Musk’s followers finding the post hilarious.

A female user named Danielle claimed that it was largely just men supporting Musk’s post
‘Moral of the story… be ultra successful to fulfil every dream that you have,’ wrote one.
‘Nobody has more fun with power than Elon. It’s exhilarating,’ gushed another.
‘This should inspire any man with a dream. Anything is possible if you put your mind into it,’ another posted.
‘This photo going to become the standard reply when anyone says “money doesn’t buy happiness”,’ added one.
‘This app is amazing,’ said one, while another wrote, ‘I’m never leaving this app!’
Most of Musk’s millions of followers seemed to enjoy the post and found it hilarious
The Tesla billionaire, 52, dated actress Heard, 37, seven years ago – and she commissioned a cosplay outfit to be made after Musk said she reminded him of Mercy, his new biography has revealed.
The Aquaman actress then wore the raunchy costume for Musk, he confirmed.
Tech mogul Musk has since posted a picture of his ex-girlfriend dressed up in the sultry Mercy outfit for his 156million followers.
She glared down the camera while donning the white costume, halo, wings, and suspenders. It has so far received 2.8million views on X, formally known as Twitter.

His new biography titled ‘Elon Musk,’ revealed: ‘He told her that she reminded him of Mercy, his favorite character in the video game Overwatch.
‘So she spent two months designing and commissioning a head-to-toe costume so she could role-play for him.’
Responding to a tweet about the incident in the book, Musk confirmed: ‘She did dress up as Mercy. It was awesome.’
To transform into the video character, Heard donned her iconic white-blocked bodysuit and gold halo headpiece.
She also has mechanical wings attached to her back that Heard would have needed to play the character in good faith.
Known for her blonde hair and prominent bust, a Mercy outfit would have needed some stiff corset boning as well as a dark-colored neckpiece.
