Tensions between The View and Elon Musk have escalated after the popular talk show issued a direct warning to the tech mogul, telling him to stay out of their affairs and focus on his own business, particularly X (formerly Twitter). This comes after Musk made critical remarks about The View on social media, sparking a heated back-and-forth between the outspoken hosts and the billionaire.

The feud began when Musk, known for his provocative tweets, took aim at the daytime talk show, criticizing its hosts and questioning its relevance. He implied that The View was fostering a “toxic” environment and hinted at possibly buying ABC, the network that airs the program, to shake things up. His remarks quickly went viral, generating both support and backlash online.

In response, The View’s producers reportedly issued a stern message, advising Musk to stay out of their business and focus on managing his own ventures, specifically X, the social media platform he acquired in 2022. The statement hinted at Musk’s responsibility to address the many challenges X faces, from misinformation to platform stability, instead of engaging in media feuds.

The View’s hosts, never ones to shy away from controversy, briefly addressed the situation on air, with co-host Joy Behar humorously stating, “Musk wants to come for us? Please, he’s got bigger problems to deal with over at X.”

The clash has reignited conversations about Musk’s growing influence in both tech and media. While The View continues to maintain its place as a staple in daytime television, Musk’s criticisms have further fueled discussions about the future of media, censorship, and the role of powerful figures like Musk in shaping public discourse.

As tensions simmer, it remains to be seen if Musk will respond to The View’s warning or shift his focus back to his vast business empire, including X.
