Sean Ono Lennon, the 48-year-old son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, recently responded to someone on social media who made a rude comment about his late father. It all started when Sean posted a message on X (formerly Twitter) that seemed to criticize Elon Musk, the owner of the platform. Sean wrote, “When an architect designs a building that collapses, his career is ruined. When an intellectual creates an idea that messes up society, he gets speaking gigs.” John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s first meeting was explored as well.
Sean followed this with another post about how people expected cryptocurrency to skyrocket when Musk appeared on Saturday Night Live.
Then, a user named @kpcycles made a sarcastic comment asking, “Your dad has a speaking engagement coming up?” Sean responded sharply, saying, “No, but your mom and I have a date coming up.” This led to more reactions, with one person telling Sean that it wasn’t okay to mention someone’s mother. Sean defended himself, saying it was appropriate because the user had insulted his father first.
Sean often shares his thoughts online. Recently, he spoke about Donald Trump’s criticism of Taylor Swift after she endorsed Kamala Harris. Sean said he didn’t know Swift’s music well but admired her success. He suggested Trump could have responded in a more respectful way, instead of getting angry at a young, successful woman, saying it made Trump look bad.
Sean is known for expressing his views on social media, especially when it comes to public figures and politics.
