Elon Musk has sparked yet another media firestorm by publicly calling for a boycott of The View and branding the show a “meeting place for ignorant women.” The billionaire’s blunt statement has ignited backlash from both the show’s cast and its loyal viewers.
Musk made the controversial remark during an online discussion about mainstream media, where he criticized The View for spreading “misinformation and biased narratives.” He then urged his followers to stop watching the show altogether, claiming it contributes to “mindless discourse.”
The response from The View was swift and fierce. Co-host Joy Behar fired back, saying, “Musk thinks he’s the smartest man in the room, but all he does is throw tantrums when people criticize him.” Meanwhile, Sunny Hostin called his comments “misogynistic and dangerous”, while Whoopi Goldberg sarcastically responded, “If we’re so ignorant, why is he so obsessed with us?”
Social media is ablaze with opinions, with some siding with Musk and calling the show “outdated,” while others condemn his remarks as a blatant attack on outspoken women.
With tensions rising, the question now is—will Musk’s boycott campaign have any real impact, or will The View come out stronger than ever?
