ELON MUSK, CALLS ‘THE VIEW’: “MEETING PLACE FOR IGNORANT WOMEN”? — ENTIRE CAST EXPLODES ON LIVE TV, NETIZENS DIVIDED AS A SURPRISING BOYCOTT ON SOCIAL MEDIA!
Manila, Philippines — The internet was ablaze this week after a controversial comment from Elon Musk , the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, against the popular American daytime talk show The View . In a tweet that quickly went viral, Musk called the show a “meeting place for ignorant women,” which sparked a heated discussion online — and was further heated when the entire cast of The View responded live on-air .
🔥 The Beginning of the Controversy: A Tweet That Spread Like Wildfire
It all started when Elon Musk posted a simple, yet shocking message on his X (formerly Twitter) account:
“The View is basically a meeting place for ignorant women pretending to know everything.”
It went viral and became a trending topic within hours. Some supported Musk’s statement, while others said it was a clear example of misogyny.
This isn’t the first time Musk has gotten into a Twitter war — he’s known for being unfiltered on social media. But now, it looks like he’s stumbled upon a hornet’s nest .
🎤 LIVE TV SHOWDOWN: Cast of ‘The View,’ Not Losing
The next day, the hosts of The View didn’t miss the controversy. During a live broadcast , they spoke out against Elon Musk in unison.
Whoopi Goldberg , one of the show’s longest-serving hosts, boldly said:
“Elon, if you think we’re ignorant, maybe you should tune in sometime and actually listen before you judge.”
Joy Behar followed this up with a more pointed rant:
“He builds rockets but can’t handle strong women speaking their minds? That says a lot more about him than us.”
While Sunny Hostin called Musk’s comment “sexist and dangerous,” she added that he was using his influence to silence women.
The entire segment went viral and was shared on various platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Millions of views within 24 hours!
💥 BOYCOTT WAR: Elon vs. The View — Whose Camp Are You On?
This controversy has left the public split down the middle. On X, Facebook, and TikTok, two major campaigns have begun: #BoycottTheView and #CancelElonMusk .
📣 Pro-Musk Supporters:
“Finally! Someone said it. The View is nothing but a toxic echo chamber.”
“Elon speaks truth. Mainstream media hates it when someone exposes them.”
👊 Pro-View Defenders:
“The View may be imperfect, but attacking women for having opinions? That’s low.”
“Musk just showed his true colors. He’s not about free speech—only speech that flatters him.”
Sa TikTok, nagkaroon pa ng trend kung saan ginagaya ng mga content creator ang eksena sa The View habang sinasampal ang isang cardboard cutout ni Musk. Viral!
📈 Mga Brand, Nadamay sa Bangayan
Dahil sa explosive nature ng diskusyon, ilang brand na konektado kina Musk at The View ay nadamay na rin. Ilan sa mga advertiser ng The View ang nakatanggap ng pressure online na kumalas sa show, habang ang Tesla naman ay binabatikos ng ilang feminist groups at netizens.
May ilang tech influencers ang nag-unfollow kay Musk at nag-post ng kanilang pagkadismaya, habang ang iba nama’y nagsabing bibilhin na nila ang Tesla stocks bilang suporta kay Elon. Gulo na!
🔍 Analisis: Pagitan ng Opinyon at Panlalait?
Sa isang banda, may mga nagsasabing freedom of speech lang ang ginawa ni Musk, at may karapatan siyang magpahayag ng saloobin. Pero sa kabilang banda, sinasabi ng iba na may hangganan ang malayang pananalita kapag ito’y tumatawid na sa diskriminasyon.
Ayon sa isang political analyst sa CNN, ang insidenteng ito ay “a classic culture war moment” — kung saan sumasalpok ang ideolohiya ng modern feminism, celebrity culture, at tech elitism.
🤯 Epekto: Mas Lalong Tumaas ang Ratings at Followers
Ang nakakagulat? Sa kabila (o dahil) ng kontrobersya, parehong nakinabang ang magkabilang panig:
Tumaas ng 22% ang ratings ng The View sa sumunod na episode, ayon sa Nielsen.
Dumami ng higit 1.5 milyon ang followers ni Musk sa X, sa loob lang ng 48 oras.
Isa itong patunay na sa panahon ng social media, controversy is currency.
⚖️ Ano ang Susunod na Mangyayari?
May mga nagsasabi na baka magsampa ng reklamo ang mga host ng The View, habang ang ilan nama’y umaasang magkakaroon ng isang harapan o debate sa pagitan nina Elon Musk at ng mga host — isang episode na siguradong papanoorin ng milyon-milyon.
Samantala, nananatiling tahimik si Musk sa kabila ng pag-aalboroto ng media. Huling tweet niya? Isang meme ng rocket na lumilipad na may caption: “Still going higher, despite the noise.”
📌 Konklusyon: Isa na Namang Cultural Earthquake
The Musk vs. The View feud isn’t just a personal feud — it’s a symbol of deeper societal tensions: the clash between celebrity power , gender politics , and freedom of speech . In the end, many still ask:
How far can a tweet go?
