Robyn<\/a> has said she hated Elon Musk<\/a> \u201cway before it was cool\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Swedish popstar made the remarks while appearing on the\u00a0Las Culturistas\u00a0podcast, where she participated in their hot-take segment \u201cI Don\u2019t Think So Honey\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking about Musk, Robyn commented: \u201cI always hated him, way before it was cool to hate him\u2026 because there was a time where [it] wasn\u2019t cool to hate him\u201d.<\/p>\n

She went on to recall the moment she begun to detest the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, adding that \u201cfor me, I started hating him when he put a Tesla into space with a David Bowie song on it. He actually shot a car into space, as if there wasn\u2019t enough shit floating around\u201d.<\/p>\n

Robyn continued: \u201cI think there should be democracy in space. There should be democracy on Earth, too, yes, which we maybe don\u2019t even have at the moment. But the fact that any commercial company can decide what to do with natural resources and also do tacky things, like sending a stupid fucking car into space that\u2019s also dangerous for people \u2014 think about the astronauts that are up there in the International Space Station and they don\u2019t really know what\u2019s going to hit them or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watch the moment at 56:43 minutes down below:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Robyn is set to release her first new album in eight years, \u2018Sexistential\u2019<\/a>.\u00a0Her ninth studio LP will land on March 27 via Young.<\/p>\n

So far, Robyn has released the lead single\u00a0\u2018Dopamine<\/a>\u2018, along with the album\u2019s title track and \u2018Talk To Me\u2019.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the record, Robyn said that \u201cexploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a beautiful kind of sensitive vibration that takes so much work to keep afloat. I feel like the purpose of my life is to stay horny \u2013 it doesn\u2019t even have to be about sex, but it\u2019s feeling sensual and attracted to things that I enjoy, and not letting anything take over that,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

We last spoke to Robyn in 2018<\/a>, where she spoke about becoming famous as a teenage musician and being the queen of the misfits.<\/p>\n

\u201cI became \u2018famous\u2019 \u2013 whatever \u2013 at a very young age, it was really scary for me, and something I really struggled with at the beginning in my teenage years. I\u2019ve always wanted to own the situation and demystify it. Not the music or the feelings, but I wanted it not to scare me. I wanted to feel like it liberated me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

She went on to talk about her love for Tottenham Hotspurs, and how it unintentionally connected back to her underdog legacy: \u201cI like that they really sucked, and they\u2019ve battled back! They\u2019re not giving up! If you meet these big teams, with all this celebrity and money, and star players, you have to own up to it, and not let go of your idea of yourself. They\u2019re underdogs.\u201d<\/p>\n

We also gave \u2018Honey\u2019 a four-star review<\/a> when it dropped, writing: \u201cThis may not be Robyn\u2019s huge, chart-conquering return \u2013 but really, from such a trail-blazing artist, did you really expect anything other than a subversion of expectations?\u201d<\/p>\n
