Elon Musk Sparks Controversy with Remarks on The View
Elon Musk recently stirred controversy after making disparaging remarks about The View, referring to it as “a meeting place for ignorant women” and calling for a boycott. His comments came in response to the show’s criticism of his leadership at X and quickly went viral, provoking both support and backlash.
The View Hosts Respond
The hosts of The View swiftly addressed Musk’s remarks. Whoopi Goldberg dismissed his statement, remarking, “Elon, honey, you’ve got a lot of money, but you don’t have a lot of class.” Joy Behar mocked his apparent inability to handle criticism, while Sunny Hostin pointed out his tendency to react negatively to outspoken women.
Divided Reactions and Escalating Tensions
The controversy sparked strong reactions across the political and media landscape. Figures like Joe Rogan defended Musk, arguing that The View thrives on manufactured outrage. Meanwhile, public figures such as Hillary Clinton and Alyssa Milano criticized his comments as misogynistic. ABC publicly supported its hosts, and some companies began reevaluating their relationship with Musk’s platform, X.
Unfazed by the backlash, Musk stood by his statements, posting on social media, “They can dish it out but can’t take it.” As tensions persist, the dispute highlights an ongoing cultural and ideological divide between media personalities and influential figures like Musk—one that shows no signs of resolution.
