Michael Keaton’s comments come as he actively campaigns for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election.
In the Instagram video, the 'Batman' actor directly addressed male supporters of Trump and Musk, urging them to rethink their participation in rallies for the two figures.
"For some of you folks, guys mostly, who are thinking of attending a rally with Musk and Trump… they don't really respect you, they laugh at you behind your back, they think you're stupid," stated Keaton.
"They think you’re stupid. They don’t want to hang out with you. They have nothing in common with you. They’re not your bros,” he added.
Keaton went on to reference a past remark by Trump, where the former president famously said, "I could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and they’d still vote for me," interpreting it as a sign of Trump’s contempt for his own base.
"Basically what he is saying is that these people are so dumb and so stupid they'd still vote for him. They have no respect for you, trust me," said the actor.

He expressed concern about the future under another Trump presidency, warning that it would particularly harm the middle class and young people.
"This is getting really scary. Me? If [Trump] gets elected, chances are I will be okay. The middle class isn't going to be okay. If you're young, you won't be okay," he cautioned, adding, "As Kamala said, we ain’t going back."
