The wealthy businessman Elon Musk, who owns websites like X (previously Twitter), is no stranger to controversy.
When he started a public campaign to end ABC’s long-running daytime chat program “The View,” it created a stir online.
As supporters and detractors considered the ramifications of such a daring call to action, the daring and unexpected move generated intense discussion on social media and in major media channels.
For more than 20 years, The View has been a mainstay of daytime television, renowned for its frank hosts and divisive discussions. However, it is often criticized due to its political inclinations and frequently contentious comments.
Never one to back down from a confrontation, Musk has expressed worries about the show’s influence on public opinion, calling it a “toxic force that promotes division rather than unity.”
