The media community and social networks are booming after Elon Musk, a famous technology billionaire, publicly calling for a boycott of The View program, calling this “a gathering place for stupid women.” The statement was released just a few days after a tense confrontation with Whoopi Goldberg at the Oscar Awards 2025, where Goldberg criticized Musk fiercely on stage. The incident quickly escalated into a media battle, when the entire cast of The View simultaneously countered, expressing indignation at Musk’s words.

Everything began when Goldberg, in an Oscar speech, targeted Musk and his controversial statements on social networks, called him “shameless arrogant.” Musk, not a silent person, responded with a sharp tweet, criticized The View program and called on fans to stop watching. He wrote: “Don’t waste time in that program, only those who consider yourself right.” This call immediately divided the public opinion: One side supported Musk, saying that he was protecting his personal opinion, while the other side defended Goldberg and her colleagues, considering this as an unfair attack on a group of women with a voice.

The cast of The View, including Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines, spent a episode of broadcasting to react. Behar called Musk “a small person,” while Hostin emphasized that their program represents diversity and dialogue, which Musk does not seem to accept. The sponsors of the program are also under pressure, with some comments calling them to withdraw assistance to respond to Musk. Meanwhile, the stock of the parent company ABC has no large fluctuations, but the incident has raised the question of Musk’s influence on public culture.

This scandal is not only a personal controversy but also reflects the increasingly deep polarity in society. With Musk continuing to maintain its position and The View shows no signs of concessions, this stress promises to last, attracting the attention of millions of people around the globe.
