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…
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.”
