In a stunning turn of events, billionaire Elon Musk has reportedly purchased The View for a staggering $900 million—only to shut it down immediately. The bombshell move has left fans and critics in disbelief, especially after reports surfaced that his first action was firing Whoopi Goldberg.
Sources close to the deal say Musk had long been critical of the show, calling it “divisive” and “outdated.” His decision to pull the plug on The View is being hailed by some as a bold move against mainstream media, while others see it as an attack on free speech.
Goldberg, who has been a co-host for years, was reportedly blindsided by the decision. “I never saw this coming,” she allegedly told close friends. Other panelists are also in shock, unsure of their next steps.
Social media is on fire with reactions, with some praising Musk for “saving television” and others condemning him for silencing opposing views. Despite the backlash, Musk seems unfazed, tweeting, “The people have spoken. The View had to go.”
