Joy Behar trashed billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk during Thursday’s 
broadcast of “The View,” claiming that he was a “foreign agent” and was 
“pro-apartheid” and asserting that he was effectively running the 
federal government while President Donald Trump took “a nap.”

Behar and her cohosts on the ABC News talk show have been critical of 
both Trump and Musk since before the inauguration — often suggesting 
that the latter is actually the one in charge and directing things from 
the sidelines — but on Thursday’s show, Behar took things a step 
further.

“Elon Musk kisses [Trump’s] butt and strokes his tiny ego, or big ego, 
whatever it is,” Behar began, prompting a smattering of laughter from 
the audience. “And he doesn’t get to do — he can take a nap while the 
guy, who was not born in this country, who was born under apartheid in 
South Africa, so has that mentality going on. He was pro-apartheid, as 
I understand it —”

“He is a naturalized citizen,” cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out.

“He’s a naturalized citizen,” Behar repeated. “Oh, how did he do that? 
Did he come over the border legally?”

Griffin said she believed he’d come to the United States on an H1B 
Visa, and cohost Sunny Hostin jumped in then to claim that he’d 
overstayed that visa, suggesting that made him an illegal immigrant.

“This is just perfectly wonderful for Trump,” Behar pivoted back to her 
original point. “He can take a nap and let this foreigner, foreign 
agent, you know, an enemy of the United States, do his job.”

Cohost Whoopi Goldberg asked whether anyone else wanted to address the 
topic, and there was a brief pause before Griffin suggested that maybe 
they should “give him a little bit of time” before labeling Musk “an 
enemy of the United States.”

Fox News commentator Guy Benson pushed back on Behar’s comments, 
saying, “When it’s illegal immigrants, they chant that we are a nation 
of immigrants. When it’s a naturalized citizen they don’t like, this 
ugly nativism rears its head.”

“At some point, @ABC is going to get sued for something these morons 
say. This may be it,” Pradheep Shanker added.


Perhaps with an eye toward just such a lawsuit, Behar scrambled to 
water down her claims when the show returned from a commercial break.

“I don’t really know for sure if he was [pro-apartheid]. He grew up in 
that time when [it] was in full blown … He was around at that time. 
Maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t … don’t be suing me, okay, Elon?” Behar 
said.
