Hollywood is once again in turmoil as veteran actor Robert De Niro appeared on The View and did not hold back in criticizing billionaire Elon Musk. During the heated discussion, De Niro stood up for host Joy Behar and took direct aim at Musk, declaring, “He doesn’t deserve your trust.”
A FIERY DEBATE ON “THE VIEW”
In a recent episode of The View, Robert De Niro engaged in an intense discussion about politics, media, and the influence of tech billionaires. When the topic shifted to Elon Musk—who has been at the center of numerous controversies due to his social media remarks—De Niro expressed clear disapproval and harshly criticized the Tesla and SpaceX CEO.
“Elon Musk may be brilliant in technology, but that doesn’t mean he’s trustworthy. No one should give absolute power to a man like him,” De Niro stated firmly.
DEFENDING JOY BEHAR, ATTACKING MUSK
One of the most notable moments of the discussion was De Niro’s defense of Joy Behar, a longtime co-host of The View. Behar has previously criticized Elon Musk and faced backlash from his supporters.
De Niro came to her defense, saying:
“Joy always speaks the truth. She’s not afraid to stand up to people like Musk—those who think they can control everything just because they are rich and powerful.”
ELON MUSK – A CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE
Elon Musk is no stranger to controversy. He has made shocking statements about politics, media, and even celebrities. Since acquiring the X platform (formerly Twitter), Musk has implemented major changes that have received mixed reactions from the public.
While his supporters see him as a visionary reformer and tech genius, his critics view him as a media manipulator and a billionaire who uses his influence for personal gain.
SOCIAL MEDIA EXPLODES
Following the airing of The View, social media erupted with a wide range of reactions:
-
Supporters of De Niro praised him for standing up to Musk, calling him a bold actor who is not afraid to challenge powerful figures.
-
Elon Musk’s fans slammed De Niro, accusing him of seeking attention and interfering too much in political matters.
-
Neutral observers saw this as just another celebrity feud, with no real impact on society.
HOW WILL MUSK RESPOND?
As of now, Elon Musk has not officially responded to Robert De Niro’s remarks. However, based on his history, it is likely that Musk will not stay silent and may respond with his signature sarcastic style on social media.
Could this be the beginning of a major showdown between Hollywood and Silicon Valley? Or is it just another fleeting media storm? We’ll have to wait and see!
