6 minutes ago: Whoopi Goldberg rubbed salt in Elon Musk’s wounds: “Leave Tesla and leave the United States, you idiot!” Shortly after, Elon Musk’s reaction to Whoopi left everyone speechless.

In a fiery moment that’s now dominating social media, Whoopi Goldberg didn’t hold back on The View earlier today. During a heated discussion about Elon Musk’s recent political and business decisions, Goldberg delivered a blunt message to the billionaire:
“If you don’t like how this country works, then leave Tesla and leave the United States, you idiot!”

The comment came amid Musk’s ongoing clashes with media outlets, regulatory bodies, and his controversial statements on X (formerly Twitter). Many of her co-hosts were visibly stunned, and the live audience gasped at her unfiltered outburst.

But what truly shocked viewers came minutes later when Elon Musk responded—not with another sharp tweet, but with a surprisingly calm and cryptic message posted on X:

> “History will judge louder voices by quieter results.”

He didn’t mention Goldberg by name, but the timing was unmistakable. The post has since gone viral, with millions debating whether it was a mic drop moment or a subtle retreat.

Social media is ablaze with takes—some siding with Goldberg’s unapologetic stance, others praising Musk’s unexpected composure.

This exchange adds another explosive chapter to the ongoing cultural and political tug-of-war between celebrity influence and tech power. One thing’s for sure: the feud just got personal—and it’s far from over.
