SHOCKING LIVE TV MOMENT: Sunny Hostin Explodes on Air—Calls Elon Musk an “ASSHOLE”; Musk’s Ice-Cold 8-Word Clapback Sends Studio into Chaos, Behar Forced to Apologize

In an absolutely jaw-dropping moment on live television, The View devolved into chaos after co-host Sunny Hostin hurled a blunt, uncensored insult at tech mogul Elon Musk—calling him, with full conviction, an “ASSHOLE” in front of a stunned national audience.

The explosive moment unfolded during a segment focused on Musk’s controversial recent remarks about AI regulation and political polarization.

What started as a spirited discussion quickly escalated into uncharted territory when Hostin—known for her fiery takes and no-holds-barred commentary—cut through the noise and dropped the A-bomb:

“Frankly, I think he’s just an asshole.”

The studio fell silent—audience members gasped, the panel froze, and producers reportedly scrambled behind the scenes.

But what followed next took the drama to a whole new level.

Within minutes, Elon Musk responded. No PR team, no legalese.

Just 8 words on X (formerly Twitter) that detonated across social media like a neutron bomb:

“Coming from her, I’ll take that compliment.”

Cue meltdown.

The View’s studio descended into chaos.

Joy Behar, visibly shaken by the spiraling situation, cut to commercial early and later issued an on-air apology, calling the situation “regrettable” and “not representative of the show’s values.”

Sources close to production say producers were “freaking out” about potential legal backlash and sponsor fallout.

Twitter (sorry—X) caught fire instantly. #SunnyVsMusk was trending worldwide within the hour.

Supporters praised Hostin for “speaking truth to power,” while Musk’s loyal army of fans fired back, labeling her attack “unprofessional,” “classless,” and “desperate for attention.”

Political commentators, media analysts, and celebrity gossip blogs are all weighing in on what might be the most controversial moment on The View since the infamous Rosie O’Donnell–Elisabeth Hasselbeck feud.

A future worth getting excited about

Some speculate that ABC may even suspend Hostin—or worse.

So what does this mean for The View? For Musk? For civil discourse?

Some say it’s a symptom of our increasingly toxic political culture. Others call it a power move—an unfiltered jab at a billionaire many view as dangerously influential.
