The latest episode of Amazon’s series Gen V has delighted fans with a brutal snub to Tesla creator Elon Musk.
The series is a spin-off of the popular superhero show The Boys and pulls no punches when it comes to portraying graphic and explicit content on screen.
The second season of the show launched last week, with the fourth episode debuting on Wednesday, September 24, for devoted friends.
A stand out moment for a lot of viewers was the brutal moment a goat name after the tech entrepreneur exploded on screen.
In the episode, lead character Marie is learning how to use her power (controlling blood) when she is asked to try to levitate a goat.
‘Elon here is no different than a bag of blood,’ says her teacher, Cipher.
After she initially refuses, he adds: ‘That’s why we name them for a**holes.’
The goat is then levitated in the air, but when Marie becomes distracted, she accidentally kills the goat by exploding it in mid-air.
Her teacher then suggests there are plenty more goats named after celebrities, as he calls: ‘Vance, bring in Julia Fox.’
‘Elon Musk stray on gen V ep4😭😭,’ said hnvm003.
‘Holy f*****g s**t 😭😭 the shade Gen V gave to Elon Musk 😭😭 Bahahahha that was soooo good!!! 😭😭 And then them killing the said Elon Musk goat, CHERRY ON TOP!!! Another reason why i love The Boys and Gen V universe!!! 🙌🏻👏🏻,’ said Matildarryhs3.
‘Omg the shade elon musk collected in Gen V😭😭😭,’ said hoeka1ge.
‘Not only do they name a goat Elon Musk, but Marie accidentally kills it later. Gen V is brilliant in every way 😂Poor Elon,’ templo_del_geek added.
The series has been met with praise as of late as the show honoured the late star Chance Perdomo with a ‘brave backstory’.
Perdomo died in a motorcycle accident last year, aged 27, before the second series was set to begin filming.
Ahead of the second season, the show’s producers confirmed in a statement that they would not be recasting his character Andre ‘because no one can replace Chance.’
Season two opens with a tribute to Chance, and his character dying off-screen in an attempt to free his friends, with his death becoming the main drive for the characters in the events of season two.
Gen V season 2 is available on Amazon with new episodes released every Wednesday.
