A shocking moment unfolded on The View when Sunny Hostin, one of the hosts, unexpectedly called Elon Musk a “bastard” during a discussion about technology issues and Musk’s power in the industry. This remark instantly took the audience and viewers by surprise.

While the show was discussing topics related to social media and the role of tech billionaires, Hostin strongly expressed her criticism of Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX. She did not hesitate to share her disapproval of Musk’s controversial actions and decisions in recent times. When she called Musk a “bastard,” the atmosphere in the studio became tense, and the audience was left stunned. Even her colleague Joy Behar appeared somewhat taken aback by the blunt comment.

However, Musk’s reaction only made the situation even more intense. Just minutes after the episode aired, Musk responded sharply on social media. Although he did not make any direct statements, his silence was interpreted by many as a subtle way of responding to the criticism.

Immediately, Joy Behar, one of the other hosts, issued a public apology on behalf of Hostin. She stated that Hostin’s comment was an impulsive reaction and did not reflect the views of the entire show. Behar also emphasized that the team respects all individuals and opinions, even if there are disagreements.

The incident has drawn significant attention from the public, especially Musk’s supporters. Many believe such remarks can tarnish the image of public figures, while others argue that Musk deserves the criticism due to his controversial actions over time.

Regardless, this event has turned The View into a hot topic on social media, with mixed opinions on how tech billionaires should be treated in public discussions.
