Elon Musk has once again found himself at the center of controversy after calling for a boycott of The View, a long-running daytime talk show known for its outspoken hosts and political discussions. In a bold statement, Musk referred to the program as “a gathering place for ignorant women” following critical remarks made about his leadership at X, formerly known as Twitter. His comments quickly spread across social media, igniting a heated debate and dividing public opinion.
Musk’s call for a boycott comes after the hosts of The View openly criticized his management of X, claiming his policies have fueled misinformation and made the platform more toxic. In response, Musk did not hold back, taking to his own platform to attack the show’s credibility and urging his followers to stop watching.
The View Hosts Respond with Sharp Criticism
Unsurprisingly, the hosts of The View did not take Musk’s remarks lightly. Whoopi Goldberg was among the first to hit back, dismissing his statement with a biting remark: “Elon, honey, you’ve got a lot of money, but class? That’s another story.” Her co-host Joy Behar joined in, mocking Musk’s apparent inability to handle criticism and questioning why he was so bothered by their discussion.
Sunny Hostin also weighed in, accusing Musk of frequently targeting strong, opinionated women. She suggested that his comments reflect a deeper issue with how he perceives female voices in the media. Meanwhile, Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin expressed frustration over what they saw as an unnecessary attack on women in the industry.
