Robert De Niro Defends Joy Behar and Slams Elon Musk on The View: ‘He Doesn’t Deserve Your Trust’

Hollywood legend Robert De Niro made waves during his recent appearance on The View, where he passionately defended co-host Joy Behar while launching a scathing attack on billionaire Elon Musk.

During the discussion, De Niro expressed his strong disapproval of Musk, criticizing the tech mogul’s influence and behavior. “He doesn’t deserve your trust,” De Niro stated emphatically, adding that Musk’s actions and statements often create controversy rather than foster real progress.

The actor also praised Behar, commending her for standing her ground in debates and for being a strong voice on the show. “Joy speaks her mind, and that’s what we need—people who aren’t afraid to call things as they see them,” he said.

Musk, known for his outspoken social media presence and controversial business moves, has faced criticism from various public figures. De Niro’s remarks add to the ongoing debate surrounding Musk’s leadership and public persona.

As expected, the comments quickly sparked reactions online, with supporters and critics of both De Niro and Musk weighing in. While some praised De Niro for speaking out, others defended Musk, arguing that his contributions to technology and space exploration outweigh the criticisms.

Neither Musk nor his representatives have responded to De Niro’s comments at this time.
