New York, NY – Daytime television took a wild turn this morning when The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg unleashed a fiery tirade against tech billionaire Elon Musk — and his response stunned both fans and critics alike.
It all started during a heated segment on The View, where the panel was discussing the growing influence of tech moguls in politics and society. Whoopi, never one to hold back, directed her frustration squarely at Elon Musk, calling him out for what she described as “reckless behavior” and “ego-driven decisions” that impact millions.
“You don’t get to buy platforms and twist them however you want,” Whoopi exclaimed. “If you don’t like the way this country works, Elon, then get out of the U.S.! Leave Tesla behind and go build rockets on Mars, you fool!”
The live studio audience gasped, and the moment instantly went viral on social media. Hashtags like #WhoopiVsMusk and #ElonResponds began trending within minutes.
But the real shock came not from Whoopi’s words — but from Elon Musk’s lightning-fast response.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Musk fired back with a short but sharp clapback:
“Whoopi, if I left, you’d have nothing to complain about. I make the future. You just talk.”
The tweet sent shockwaves through the internet, with some praising Musk for his boldness and others rallying behind Whoopi for “saying what many are thinking.” Celebrities, influencers, and political commentators quickly joined the fray, turning the spat into a full-blown cultural moment.
Some accused Goldberg of crossing a line, while others hailed her as a hero standing up to billionaire overreach. Meanwhile, Musk loyalists argued that the entrepreneur has done more for innovation and progress than most politicians combined.
