"Maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t. So, don’t be suing me okay, Elon."
On Thursday, ABC’s The View co-host Joy Behar went on a tangent against billionaire X owner Elon Musk and then proceeded to walk back comments after receiving pushback.
Behar accused Musk, who was born in South Africa, of being pro-apartheid and running the United States for President Donald Trump. According to reports, Musk has never publicly expressed his support for the South African Apartheid, which was a period of racial segregation.
“The guy was not born in this country, he was born under Apartheid in South Africa. So he has that mentality going on. He was pro-Apartheid, as I understand it,” Behar told her co-hosts.
After stating the allegations, the host immediately walked back her claims after returning from a commercial break.
“I’m getting some flack because I said that Musk was pro-Apartheid. I don’t really know for sure if he was,” said Behar. “He grew up at that time when Apartheid party was in full bloom, before the great Nelson Mandela fixed that. He was around at that time.”
“Maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t,” Behar pondered, questioning if Musk supported racial segregation or not. “So, don’t be suing me okay, Elon! They’re allowed to say any lie they want, but we have to be really strict. That’s why this show’s so important.”
It’s unclear why Behar felt the need to correct the record, but her fellow co-hosts have been hit with threats of defamation lawsuits throughout the years stemming from their anti-Republican tirades.
