Whoopi Goldberg is no stranger to causing a stir on The View.
Just a few months after being slammed as “tone deaf” for saying she has to “work for a living,” she is being criticized once again – this time, for seemingly mocking Elon Musk‘s four-year-old son, X, with some of the other panelists on the show. Keep reading for more info…
ABC News hosts Whoopi Goldberg (a fake name) and Joy Behar mock and bully Elon Musk’s 4-year-old son over his name:

Joy Behar And Whoopi Goldberg Seem To Mock Elon Musk’s Son’s Name On ‘The View’
During a conversation with Joy Behar on The View, the 69-year-old controversial EGOT winner spoke about Elon Musk’s recent appearance at the White House during a conference with President Donald Trump. And when the topic of his four-year-old son came up – his full name is X Æ A-Xii (pronounced ex-ash-ay-twelve) – the panelists were less than complimentary about the name.
“Yesterday Elon Musk took his son X to a press conference,” the outspoken Sister Act alum said on the show, to which Behar asked, “X?” Goldberg then replied, “I did not name the child, and I don’t want to hear anymore mess about our names,” which caused the rest of the panel to laugh.
Behar then continued to mock the name, by pointing out that he is named after the social media platform that was formerly known as Twitter. Goldberg, who recently opened up about her 100-lb weight loss transformation courtesy of weight loss injections, then said: “Anyway, he took little X,” after which Behar interjected and quipped: “And little Instagram.”
Internet Reactions
"Says the woman with the name 'Whoopi.' This stuff writes itself," joked one X user. "It seems they CAN sink lower. Such Trash!" exclaimed a second, as a third concurred: "Whoopi Goldberg is making fun of Elon's son's name. She's pure trash."
"I'm always stunned how Dem celebrities find new lows for attention. They're a bunch of pervs. I ignore their depravity but mocking a child calls for action. Whoopi mocked Elon's Musk's son. Unacceptable. Time to fire her [expletive,]" wrote a fourth. "She's got to go!" demanded a fifth.
"Whoopi Goldberg is now making fun of Elon's kid's name as the audience laughs. Picking on a child. She's evil," noted a sixth, as a seventh added: "Whoopi Goldberg mocking Elon's son's name. The same people who cry about 'bullying' have no problem doing it themselves."
"Wow – mean AND dumb. They really have no bottom to their nastiness," slammed another X user, as someone else called the ladies the "absolute worst." "This was so wrong and disgusting," observed another outraged viewer, while someone else asked: "Shameful fake feminist; who shames a 4 yr old child?"
"They are the dumbest women on earth. How dare they say anything about anyone's child," commented another user. "Kids should be off-limits in all political arenas," agreed another.
