In yet another headline-grabbing move, tech billionaire Elon Musk has taken direct aim at ABC’s long-running daytime talk show The View, calling it “the worst TV show in America” in a scathing post that has ignited outrage, applause, and chaos across social media and daytime television.

“The View is a toxic echo chamber. It’s not journalism, it’s emotional manipulation. Probably the worst TV show in America,” Musk wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter), tagging the show’s official handle.

The Internet Erupts: War of Worlds

Within minutes, Musk’s blunt criticism went viral, with hashtags like #ElonVsTheView, #BoycottTheView, and #FreeSpeechOrAttack trending worldwide.

While some users rallied behind Musk’s message, calling the show “divisive,” “one-sided,” and “intellectually bankrupt,” others accused him of bullying women, undermining media freedom, and targeting outspoken female hosts.

🎙️ The View Fires Back On-Air

The cast of The View didn’t hold back during today’s live episode. Joy Behar called Musk’s comments “a pathetic grab for relevance,” while Sunny Hostin accused him of “trying to intimidate women who speak their minds.”

“We’re not scared of billionaires with Wi-Fi access,” said co-host Whoopi Goldberg. “Maybe Elon should spend less time tweeting and more time fixing his rockets.”

🧨 Political Undercurrents: What Sparked It?

Musk’s attack on The View appears to be a response to a segment earlier this week, during which the hosts harshly criticized his leadership of X, questioned his handling of misinformation, and accused him of enabling “digital extremism.”

“He’s turning X into a dystopian echo chamber,” said one panelist. “It’s becoming a platform for chaos.”

Musk, who has repeatedly championed “free speech” on his platform, has clashed with media outlets and commentators before, but this marks his most direct and personal attack on a mainstream TV show.

Musk Allies Weigh In

Supporters in the tech and political spheres quickly backed Musk’s critique.

“He’s right. The View is a brain cell graveyard.” – tweeted a tech executive

• “Finally someone said it. Musk for media reform!” – posted a conservative influencer

Even Tucker Carlson reposted Musk’s message, adding: “Elon speaks for millions.”

Media Experts Weigh In

Media analysts are calling the incident “another flashpoint in the culture war,” pointing out how The View, one of the most-watched shows in daytime television, has long been a lightning rod for conservative backlash.

“Elon’s comments will further polarize the conversation,” said media critic Dana Welsh. “But love him or hate him — he just hijacked the news cycle again.”

What’s Next?

With Musk refusing to back down and The View seemingly energized by the fight, this battle is far from over.

Insiders at ABC say producers are considering dedicating a full segment to addressing Musk’s criticism — possibly escalating the feud into a weekly spectacle.

Meanwhile, Musk ended the night with another tweet:

“They can rant all they want. The View still sucks.”

One thing is certain: Elon Musk vs. The View is the media cage match no one expected — and no one can stop watching.
