Rachel Zegler is set to star in the upcoming movie Snow White due out early next year. The film’s production has been plagued with controversy and backlash, and now Rachel Zegler herself is delivering some backlash against Donald Trump and Elon Musk after Trump’s recent election win.
Zegler recently took to Instagram to share her thoughts on Trump after his victory, and furthermore, she took the time to also slam Elon Musk who was heavily supportive of Trump during his campaign. In fact, Zegler believes that non-Trump supporters should leave X since the website is now operated by Musk.
Here’s how she began her comments on her Instagram story:
“I find myself speechless in the midst of this. Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in. Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in. Leaning us towards a world that will force her to have a baby she doesn’t want. Leaning us towards a world that is fearful.”
Her statement continues:
“I shouldn’t be this shocked. But I am. I am heartbroken for my friends who awoke fear this morning. And I am here with you. To cry, to yell, to hug. To wax poetic on how the left continues to fail us in forging a new path forward. This loss should not have been. And it certainly should not have been by so many votes.”
“I echo Ethel Cain’s statement more than anything,” Zegler adds. “May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.”
Zegler’s statement on Instagram further emphasizes her disappointment with how many people voted for Trump. According to her post, it makes her “feel sad,” and that others “probably do, too.” Eventually, she has this to say about Elon Musk:
“Get off of Elon’s app btw. The f*ck are you doing. ‘They’re eating you up on Twitter’ – I don’t use that app for a reason. He helped get that man elected and you’re giving him business. I was talking about finding catharsis in art. I don’t care if you’re gonna pick a fight with me. It’s been done before. Find something real to be mad at today. There’s plenty to go around.”
Finally, Zegler ends her rant with the following:
“Okay. That’s all. Going onstage for act two now and need to get off my soapbox before I get too heated.
“Sending love to everyone who needs it today. May we all carry each other through the worst and hold these politicians accountable. Your dem govs just got very important! They already were but hey! Follow your governors! Hold them accountable. Local government is where we will make real change. This is not the end. Ever.
I will love through these four years as best I can.
F*ck Donald Trump.”
Rachel Zegler hopes Trump supporters never know peace, tells her followers to get off X because Elon Musk supported Trump, and ends with- “Fuck Donald Trump.”

The Instagram story, which was screenshotted and shared to X, has received numerous reactions already. Many users feel as though Zegler is out of line, and that she should face consequences from Disney as a result. Others point out the hypocrisy in that nothing will likely happen to her for her statements. Either way, it’ll be interesting to see how this might impact the performance of her upcoming film Snow White.
