In a very unkind moment on ABC’s “The View” on Thursday, February 13, the co-hosts of the very woke show took the commentary down low to mock Elon’s 4-year-old son during a segment that was nearly entirely devoted to attacking Elon Musk. The co-hosts mainly mocked the young boy over his unusual name, X Æ A-XII.
The matter that the terrible co-hosts were discussing was a televised briefing that Elon and President Trump delivered from the Oval Office. During the press conference, which revolved around some of the fraud and waste that Elon and his Department of Government Efficiency have discovered, “Lil X,” as Musk calls his young son, was in the room, mainly sitting on the ground near the desk.
Goldberg, beginning the portion of the segment in which the co-hosts attacked “Lil X,” said, “Yeah, so yesterday Elon Musk took his son X to a press conference —” Cutting her off, co-host Joy Behar chimed in to ask, “X?” Shaking her head, Whoopi directed a snide remark at the boy over his name, saying, “I did not name the child.”
Behar, asking again about the boy’s name, asked, “That’s the kid’s name?” Whoopie Goldberg, whose real name is Caryn Elaine Johnson, said, “And I don’t want to hear any more mess about our names. Okay?” Continuing, she then said, “Anyhoo, he took little X —” Behar, mocking the boy and his name, said, “And little Instagram.”
Then, when Sarah Haines chimed in to say that Elon doesn’t own Instagram, Whoopi kept going and attacked Elon for bringing his son with him to the event, saying, “He doesn’t own Instagram, he just took Lil X with him. To a press conference in the Oval Office to defend himself against critics who say he should not have the power to gut the federal agency.” Watch them here:
