6 Minutes Ago: Whoopi Goldberg Rubs Salt in Elon Musk’s Wounds — “Get Out of Tesla and Get Out of the US, You Idiot!”
Shocking Statement Sparks Social Media Firestorm, Elon Musk’s Explosive Reaction Goes Viral

The internet is on fire following a bombshell moment that no one saw coming. Whoopi Goldberg, the outspoken actress and longtime host of The View, delivered a scathing, unexpected attack on tech mogul Elon Musk that’s left social media in chaos and commentators scrambling to respond.

During a heated segment on The View earlier today, the panel was discussing corporate responsibility and the impact of billionaire influence on society. The conversation quickly took a sharp turn when Goldberg turned her attention to Elon Musk with a fiery outburst that stunned even her co-hosts.

“Get out of Tesla and get out of the United States, you idiot!” Goldberg shouted, her tone sharp and unapologetic. “We are tired of billionaires thinking they can control the truth, rewrite narratives, and act like they’re above the rest of us.”

The moment was met with gasps from the live audience and an almost instant eruption on social media. Within minutes, clips of the rant were trending on Twitter (now X), TikTok, and Instagram, with hashtags like #WhoopiVsElon, #TheViewExplodes, and #MuskClapsBack reaching millions of views.

But it didn’t take long for Elon Musk to fire back.

On his X account, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO responded with his signature bluntness:

“If intelligence were required to host a talk show, she wouldn’t have the job. I’ll stay with the rockets. She can stay in her bubble.”

The response was equally viral, drawing a mix of outrage and praise from users across the political and cultural spectrum. Musk’s defenders praised his refusal to back down, while Goldberg’s supporters hailed her for “saying what no one else in Hollywood dares to.”

Some analysts suggest this moment may mark a larger cultural clash that’s been simmering beneath the surface — a tension between Silicon Valley’s libertarian ethos and Hollywood’s progressive activism. It also reopens the conversation about the responsibilities of public figures, free speech, and the ever-blurring line between celebrity opinion and political influence.

This isn’t Whoopi Goldberg’s first headline-making controversy, nor is it Musk’s first social media war. But the intensity and timing of this clash — especially amid recent political, economic, and media shifts — has amplified its impact.

As of now, neither The View nor Tesla has issued an official comment, though insider reports claim ABC executives are “monitoring the fallout closely.”

One thing is clear: the collision between two of the most high-profile — and outspoken — figures in American media and tech has captivated the public’s attention like few stories in recent memory.

What’s your take?
Did Whoopi go too far, or is she holding powerful people accountable?
Was Musk’s comeback justified, or another case of billionaire ego on display?
Let us know in the comments — this debate is far from over.
