Richard Gere Quits America, Slams Elon Musk: “I Refuse to Breathe the Same Air”
Hollywood legend Richard Gere has officially turned the page on his American life, selling off his U.S. properties and relocating permanently to Spain with his wife, Alejandra Silva, and their children. The reason behind the move? A scathing indictment of what he sees as the soul of America fading—and Elon Musk as its loudest symbol.
“The America I once loved doesn’t exist anymore,” Gere declared. “When billionaires dictate the values and direction of a society, it’s no longer a place I can call home.”
Though Gere has longstanding ties to Spain through Alejandra, this move is about more than scenery—it’s about values. He describes his new life as slower, simpler, and richer in meaning. “Life is calmer here,” Alejandra added. “It’s a better place for our children to grow up.”
Gere isn’t fading into retirement. Instead, he’s shifting focus to European cinema—where, he says, storytelling still matters.
“Hollywood has become a machine obsessed with profit,” he said. “I want to be part of something that still cares about art, truth, and humanity.”
The public response has been electric. Fans flooded social media with admiration: “He’s not just talking—he’s living his truth. That’s rare. That’s brave.”
For Richard Gere, this isn’t just a change of address. It’s a quiet act of resistance—a deliberate step away from a system he no longer believes in, and a leap toward a life of peace, integrity, and purpose.
