Whoopi Goldberg Has On-Air Meltdown, Calls Elon A “Crook”

During the October 21 episode of ABC’s *The View*, Whoopi Goldberg criticized Elon Musk, calling him a “crook” over his initiative to support conservative candidates ahead of the November elections. Musk’s America PAC giveaway, offering $1 million daily to those signing a petition for First and Second Amendment rights, sparked Whoopi’s ire. She accused Musk of trying to “buy the election” and questioned the legality of his actions, referring to them as a “loophole.”

Guest Minnesota Governor Tim Walz joined the criticism, linking Musk’s actions to Donald Trump, suggesting it distracted from policy issues. The exchange highlighted concerns among some on the left over Musk’s influence and the growing support for conservative causes. As the election approaches, the clash underscores a broader tension around political influence and media coverage in the lead-up to November.
