Olivia Wilde recently poked fun at Blue Origin's space mission. The House star posted a meme on Instagram Stories, teasing the expense of the mission. The NS-31 mission was a historic suborbital flight. It occurred on April 14, 2025, and included an all-female crew of six passengers.
Sharing a meme, Wilde wrote:
"Billion dollars bought some good memes I guess"
The meme in question teased recent aircraft crashes. It showed the moment Gayle King hopped out of the vessel and bowed down on the ground. The caption read:
"getting off commercial flight in 2025."
Individuals chimed in on the joke, joking around about the whole "going to space for 10 minutes" thing. Nevertheless, others weren't amused and ended up roasting her.
Netizens opined that Olivia Wilde shouldn't be the one making jokes. Before you ask why, remember it is the internet that we are talking about.
In the meantime, other users made the reactions of the crewmembers on board the spacecraft memes, making the whole ordeal even funnier.

Olivia Wilde's net worth was at the center of jokes. Users noted that she's a millionaire giving advice to billionaires on how they should spend their money. Some were surprised she was weighing in on the issue at all, while others asked where she spends her million dollars.

Fans joked that Olivia Wilde's only actual contribution to society is the legendary I love America GIF. Some accused her of being jealous, while others dubbed her a sage who knows better than humanity.
Some users think that:
"her only lasting impact being this gif."
A user @eno196037 asked:
"Jealous, are you?"
One user, @eno196037, sarcastically commented:
"She's one of those sage masters who knows what's good for humanity."
Netizens assumed Olivia Wilde was saying all these things because she was no longer relevant. Some joked they hadn't heard her name for a long time, jibing her for being in oblivion.

"me when I'm jealous and irrelevant."
Another user @userfoundcrying said:
"Haven't heard this name in such a long time."
A user @victowave joined in on the fun, saying:
"She spilled, but she also made Don’t Worry Darling."
Blue Origin’s latest space trip had six women on board. They were pop singer Katy Perry, journalist Gayle King, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyễn, retired NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, film producer Kerianne Flynn, and philanthropist Lauren Sánchez.
