In yet another controversy, billionaire Elon Musk has ignited a heated debate after publicly calling The View “a den of fools” and urging his followers to boycott the long-running talk show. His remarks, which were shared via a post on X (formerly Twitter), quickly went viral, triggering an intense backlash from The View hosts and high-profile figures across the political spectrum.

Musk’s Scathing Comments

Musk’s attack on The View came shortly after the show’s panel criticized his leadership at X, questioning his decisions regarding free speech policies, mass layoffs, and controversial platform changes. Seemingly unfazed, Musk fired back, writing:

“The View is nothing more than a meeting place for ignorant women who thrive on misinformation. It’s pure propaganda. Time to turn it off for good.”

The statement immediately sparked outrage online, with both fans and critics of Musk debating whether his words were justified or simply an act of unnecessary provocation.

The View Hosts Fire Back

The ladies of The View wasted no time in responding to Musk’s attack. Whoopi Goldberg, a longtime co-host, addressed the controversy on air, calling Musk’s remarks “classless” and “proof that billionaires don’t always buy wisdom.”

Joy Behar, known for her sharp wit, took the opportunity to mock Musk’s apparent inability to handle criticism.

“So let me get this straight—Elon Musk, the so-called genius, can build rockets and electric cars, but he crumbles when a few women on a talk show say something he doesn’t like? Poor baby.”

Meanwhile, Sunny Hostin pointed out a recurring pattern in Musk’s behavior, noting his history of reacting negatively to strong women who challenge his views.

“It’s no coincidence that every time a woman dares to call him out, Musk gets defensive. His comments weren’t just an attack on The View, they were an attack on all women who refuse to bow down to men like him.”

Divided Public Reaction

The controversy quickly gained traction outside the show, with figures from all sides weighing in.

Podcast host Joe Rogan, a vocal supporter of Musk, came to his defense, arguing that The View “has been peddling nonsense for years” and that Musk was simply “calling it like it is.”

However, critics like former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and actress Alyssa Milano slammed Musk’s remarks as sexist and dismissive. Milano, a longtime advocate for women’s rights, tweeted:

“When men in power belittle women for speaking their minds, they reveal more about themselves than the women they attack. Musk should be ashamed.”

What’s Next?

Despite the backlash, Musk remains unfazed and has doubled down on his remarks, encouraging X users to “stop giving The View ratings.” Meanwhile, the talk show continues to capitalize on the controversy, with recent episodes addressing Musk’s comments head-on.

Whether this battle of words will escalate further remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Elon Musk vs. The View has become one of the most talked-about media clashes of the year.
