During a live broadcast, Whoopi Goldberg addressed the controversy head-on, stating, “Elon, honey, you’ve got a lot of money, but you don’t have a lot of class. If you don’t like what we say, don’t watch. But don’t try to silence us because we call you out.”

Joy Behar added, “This is the guy who thinks he’s the smartest person in the world, yet he can’t handle a few women discussing his behavior? Give me a break.

Sunny Hostin took a more serious approach, stating, “Calling women ‘ignorant’ for having opinions is not only offensive but also shows a deep misunderstanding of what this show is about.

On the other hand, some of Musk’s followers defended his stance, arguing that The View has a history of unfairly attacking conservative voices and successful entrepreneurs.

Prominent podcaster Joe Rogan weighed in on his show, suggesting that The View has lost credibility: “It’s not a serious talk show anymore; it’s just an outrage machine. Musk is right to call them out.” ​

Elon Musk’s remarks have reignited discussions about the treatment of women’s voices in media and the broader cultural and ideological divides in public discourse today.

While some defend Musk’s right to express his opinions, others view his comments as an attack on women and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how this controversy will impact the future of The View and the broader media landscape
