Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk recently called for a boycott of The View, referring to it as “a meeting place for ignorant women.”

His remarks quickly sparked controversy, drawing immediate and fierce responses from the show’s hosts.

Whoopi Goldberg, one of the leading voices on The View, dismissed Musk’s comments, saying, “This is just another example of a man who can’t handle strong women speaking their minds.”

Co-host Joy Behar also fired back, sarcastically remarking, “I didn’t know Elon Musk was our new TV critic.”

Sunny Hostin criticized Musk’s statement as misogynistic, pointing out that The View has been a platform for intelligent discussions on politics, culture, and social issues for decades.

Sara Haines added, “It’s ironic that someone who claims to support free speech wants to silence us just because he doesn’t agree with our opinions.”

Meanwhile, social media exploded with mixed reactions. Some Musk supporters echoed his call for a boycott, arguing that the show is biased and uninformative.

Others defended The View, condemning Musk’s remarks as an attack on women’s voices.

Despite the backlash, Musk stood by his statement, later posting on X (formerly Twitter), “If people want to watch mindless chatter, that’s their choice. But don’t pretend it’s journalism.”

This clash between Musk and The View reflects a larger cultural divide, highlighting the ongoing debate over media influence, free speech, and gender dynamics in public discourse.
