Tears of Pleasure.
The View co-host Pleasure Behar embarrassingly walked again claims she made that billionaire DOGE chief Elon Musk is a “pro-apartheid,” “foreign agent” and an “enemy of the state.”
“The guy was not born in this country, who was born under apartheid in South Africa,” Behar mentioned throughout a nativist-tinged rant on Thursday’s present.
“So, [he] has that mentality going on. He was pro-Apartheid, as I understand it,” Behar mentioned.
Behar escalated the incendiary feedback, characterizing Musk, who was tapped by President Trump to go the cost-cutting company, as a “foreign agent” and an “enemy of the state.”
However simply after a business break, Behar shortly shifted her tone and commenced backtracking the bombastic and probably defamatory statements.
“Now I’m getting some flack because I said that Musk was pro-apartheid. I don’t really know for sure if he was,” she mentioned flippantly.
“He grew up at that time when apartheid was in full bloom, before the great Nelson Mandela fixed that. He was around at that time, but maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t — he might have been a young guy, too.”
“So, don’t be suing me, okay Elon?” Behar joked earlier than including, “They’re allowed to say any lie they want but we have to be really strict.”
Elon Musk, 53, was born in Peoria, South Africa, in 1971, throughout the peak of the racial segregationist coverage often called Apartheid. The SpaceX founder grew to become a naturalized American citizen in 2002.
Social media customers weren’t shopping for Behar’s half-hearted apology — with a number of viral tweets remarking that the liberal TV host was beginning to sound like a caricature of a conservative.
“The libs are anti-immigration now,” one consumer wrote, including a clown emoji to the X put up with over 14,000 likes.
“This is pure gold. Elon Musk has transformed Joy Behar into a critic of immigration,” one other consumer posted on X.
Commentators on the platform known as Behar a “bigot” and “toxic” — with many wishing that the SpaceX CEO would sue the present’s mother or father firm ABC.
