Elon Musk vs. The View – The Feud Escalates
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has ignited a major media firestorm after publicly calling for a boycott of ABC’s daytime talk show The View, referring to it as a “gathering place for stupid women.” His comment has sparked outrage from the show’s entire cast, with some demanding that Musk apologize or even face repercussions.

The clash marks yet another high-profile battle between Musk and mainstream media, as he continues to challenge what he calls bias and misinformation in traditional television networks.
What Led to Musk’s Boycott Call?
Musk’s harsh criticism of The View reportedly came after the hosts mocked him on air, questioning his leadership at X (formerly Twitter), Tesla, and SpaceX. According to clips circulating online, the hosts accused Musk of:
- Spreading misinformation under the guise of “free speech.”
- Allowing hateful content to flourish on X.
- Being out of touch with everyday Americans despite his claims to fight for free speech.
Co-host Joy Behar took a direct shot at Musk, sarcastically saying:
“This guy thinks he’s a genius just because he plays with rockets and cars. Maybe he should focus on running his companies instead of tweeting all day.”
That comment—along with other criticisms from the panel—seems to have pushed Musk over the edge.
Musk Fires Back: “A Gathering Place for Stupid Women”
Shortly after the episode aired, Musk took to X (Twitter) to unleash a scathing attack on the show:
“Boycott The View. It’s nothing more than a gathering place for stupid women who push nonsense and pretend to be intellectuals.”
His post immediately went viral, drawing both fierce backlash and strong support.
The View’s Cast Responds With Outrage
The entire cast of The View reacted angrily, with co-hosts slamming Musk for what they called a sexist and offensive remark.
🎤 Whoopi Goldberg fired back:
“Elon Musk thinks he’s untouchable, but attacking women like this? Shows exactly the kind of man he is.”
🔥 Joy Behar doubled down:
“If anyone’s ‘stupid,’ it’s the guy who paid $44 billion for Twitter just to run it into the ground.”
🎙️ Sunny Hostin called Musk’s words dangerous:
“This is exactly why we talk about unchecked power. Musk is one of the richest men in the world, and instead of using his platform for good, he insults women who challenge him.”
Public Reaction – A Divided Internet
Musk’s comments have set the internet ablaze, with people taking strong positions on both sides.
🔥 Musk’s supporters argue:
- He is standing up against mainstream media bias and hypocrisy.
- The View frequently attacks men, conservatives, and business leaders, so it’s fair for Musk to hit back.
- The show has a history of misinformation and personal attacks on public figures.
🚨 Critics argue:
- Musk’s comment was sexist and disrespectful, regardless of his grievances.
- Instead of debating The View’s points, he resorted to name-calling.
- This could hurt Musk’s image among female consumers and investors.
What Happens Next?
With Musk’s boycott call gaining traction, some wonder if ABC will respond—especially as social media platforms continue to discuss whether The View is truly biased or simply outspoken.
Meanwhile, Musk shows no signs of backing down. He has already retweeted memes mocking The View and hinted that more responses may come.
Will this battle escalate further, or will one side back down? Stay tuned for updates!
