Elon Musk sparked controversy by calling The View “a meeting place for ignorant women” and urging a boycott after the show criticized his leadership at X.
The hosts fired back, with Whoopi Goldberg calling Musk “classless,” Joy Behar mocking his inability to take criticism, and Sunny Hostin noting his negative reactions to strong women. Supporters like Joe Rogan defended Musk, while critics such as Hillary Clinton and Alyssa Milano condemned his remarks as sexist.
ABC backed its hosts, and some advertisers reconsidered ties with X. Musk doubled down, saying, “They can dish it out but can’t take it,” highlighting the growing media divide.
