Nothing is quite as annoying as a Hollywood star attempting to lecture the masses about public policy. Whether it’s Tom Hanks with his “morning in America” pro-Biden ad that left out inflation and supply chain problems, or Matthew McConaughey taking shots at space barons like Elon Musk, entertainment industry virtue-signaling proves how out-of-touch people with tons of money can become living in a leftist cultural bubble.
The ad that features McConaughey first ran during the Super Bowl. It depicts the actor in a spacesuit and looks like a trailer for a sequel to Interstellar, a space movie in which he once starred. The ad, run on behalf of a company called Salesforce, quickly segues into a heavy-handed message about not going to Mars. Instead, the argument goes, we should stay home on Earth and plant trees.
