Yes, you heard that right. The billionaire entrepreneur is suing The View and Whoopi Goldberg for a cool $60 million. Musk’s point of contention? He claims they’ve been spreading false information about him. No stranger to controversy, this latest move by Musk indicates a significant escalation in his already strained relationship with the media.
The lawsuit stems from a recent appearance Musk made on The View. What should have been a friendly conversation about his latest ventures quickly devolved into a heated clash of personalities. With the usual back-and-forth chatter one expects from daytime television, the interview took a sour turn when Goldberg, known for her direct approach, started questioning Musk’s business ethics and personal character.
The host’s barrage of criticisms came thick and fast, alleging Musk of harboring dangerous ambitions and acting unethically in his business practices. Goldberg went as far as accusing him of creating a monopoly in the tech industry and damaging the Earth through his SpaceX projects.
