Goldberg walked out crying after accusing Musk of using his platform to spread dangerous ideas.
New York City – Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of the popular talk show “The View,” was reportedly reduced to tears after confronting Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, on the show earlier this week.
The incident reportedly began when Goldberg asked Musk about his recent comments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Musk had been criticized for downplaying the severity of the virus, and Goldberg wanted to know why he was spreading misinformation.
Musk, known for his brash and sometimes controversial remarks, responded by saying that he believed in freedom of speech and that people should be able to express their opinions, even if they were unpopular.
Goldberg, visibly upset by Musk’s response, pushed back and accused him of using his platform to spread dangerous ideas that could put people’s lives at risk.
At this point, Musk appeared to become agitated and started to argue with Goldberg. He accused her of being closed-minded and not willing to listen to different perspectives.
In response, Goldberg stood up and walked off the set in tears, leaving her co-hosts stunned and the audience in disbelief.
The incident has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many people taking sides in the argument. Some have criticized Goldberg for being too emotional and not being able to handle Musk’s strong personality, while others have praised her for standing up to someone they see as a dangerous figure.
Neither Musk nor Goldberg has commented publicly on the incident, but sources say that tensions remain high between the two and that there may be more confrontations in the future.
Regardless of what happens next, it’s clear that the clash between Goldberg and Musk has captured the attention of millions of people and will likely be remembered as one of the most memorable moments in the history of “The View.”
