Whoopi Goldberg dismissed the recent feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk as “fake” and “strategic” during a recent episode of “The View.” The discussion on Monday’s show revolved around the ongoing conflict between the two prominent figures, starting with Trump’s criticism of a government spending bill and escalating to Musk’s claim that Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files. When the hosts debated who they believed would emerge victorious, conservative panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin expressed her support for her former boss, Trump.
Griffin speculated that Trump would come out on top, citing his response promising to target Musk’s Pentagon contracts. However, Goldberg pushed back against the notion, questioning the authenticity of the feud. She suggested that it was a calculated distraction to divert attention from more pressing issues. Goldberg emphasized her skepticism towards both Trump and Musk, stating that their credibility is in question.
As the rift between Trump and Musk gained widespread attention, late-night comedians like Jimmy Kimmel weighed in on the situation. Kimmel humorously remarked on the absurdity of the conflict, joking about potential outcomes. The ongoing feud has captured public interest and sparked discussions across various media platforms.
