In a jaw-dropping moment on The View, co-host Sunny Hostin stunned both the audience and her fellow panelists by openly calling Elon Musk a “bastard” during a heated discussion. The unexpected outburst left the studio in shocked silence, but what happened next was even more surprising.
Rather than reacting with anger, Musk responded in a way that completely shifted the energy in the room. His calm and calculated reply left not only Hostin but the entire studio speechless. Witnesses say his response was so powerful and unexpected that it forced a moment of reflection among the hosts.
Viewers at home quickly took to social media, with some praising Musk for his composure, while others criticized Hostin for her choice of words. “This is daytime television—there’s a level of professionalism that should be maintained,” one viewer commented.
As the clip of the exchange goes viral, many are wondering whether Hostin will issue an apology or double down on her remarks. One thing is for sure—this explosive moment will be talked about for a long time.
