Whoopi Goldberg Slams People Who Believe Donald Trump And Elon Musk’s ‘Fake’ Feud Is Real In Viral ‘View’ Clip: ‘You All Bought Into It’

When co-host Sunny Hostin asked her to elaborate on why she felt that way, the Sister Act alum said: "It's too strategic." She went on: "This is another distraction to keep us talking not about the stuff we're talking about, but the stuff they want us to." 

"I'm not buying it. I don't buy it, because they love to lie all day," the often-controversial star continued, adding: "I don't believe anything they say anymore. They have shown themselves not to be the most trustworthy people."

Internet Reactions

"Whoopi Goldberg has been saying a lot of things that make sense lately and it's getting spooky," wrote one X user, which makes a change from the usual backlash Goldberg faces from the internet. "This is probably close to the truth," thought a second.

A third X user wrote: "Not often you hear Whoopi say what the internet's been thinking for months. Every feud's a headline, and every headline is a distraction." "Wow. First time I've ever agreed with her. It was definitely staged," concurred a fourth.

"I'm conservative, I have zero respect for Whoopi Goldberg! I do think she is right on this," echoed a fifth, as a sixth chimed in: "I do think it was at least partly staged. With all the pressure on Elon and Tesla, I think he wanted to distance himself from Trump to cool things down. Just a thought."
