Hollywood actor Richard Gere has officially relocated to Spain with his family, making it clear that he has no intention of returning to the United States. His decision has sparked debate, especially after he blamed Elon Musk for contributing to the country’s decline.

Gere, known for his roles in Pretty Woman and An Officer and a Gentleman, has reportedly grown frustrated with the current state of America, particularly regarding technology, media influence, and political tensions. He believes that Musk’s growing power in industries such as social media, artificial intelligence, and corporate governance has helped shape a society he no longer wishes to be a part of.

Sources close to the actor claim that his concerns revolve around free speech policies, corporate influence, and the way digital platforms impact democracy. Gere has long been an advocate for human rights and progressive causes, and he feels that the rise of powerful tech figures is making it harder to address issues he cares about.

Now settled in Spain, Gere plans to focus on a more peaceful life away from the U.S. political and media landscape. He has always had a strong affinity for European culture and frequently visited Spain before making the move permanent. His decision also aligns with his ongoing humanitarian work, as he continues to support refugee rights and global aid efforts from abroad.

Reactions to his move have been mixed. Some applaud his stand against the current social and political climate in the U.S., while others criticize his decision to leave rather than engage in change. Regardless, Gere appears firm in his stance, choosing to distance himself from Hollywood and American affairs for the foreseeable future.
