Joy Behar attacked Elon Musk on The View, calling him a “foreign agent” and “pro-apartheid.” However, she later admitted she had no evidence for these claims.

Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin clarified that Musk is a naturalized citizen who came to the U.S. on an H1B Visa, countering Behar’s assertions.

After receiving backlash, Behar mentioned during a commercial break that she was criticized for her comments and expressed uncertainty about Musk’s past.

Guy Benson criticized Behar’s remarks as “ugly nativism,” highlighting a contradiction in attitudes toward immigrants.
