She characterized current Vice President-elect J.D. Vance as merely &#8220;interim,&#8221; stating that Musk is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pentagon-press-secy-says-defense-secy-has-been-actively-involved-in-overseeing-yemen-airstrikes\/\" title=\"Pentagon spokesperson confirms Defense Secretary&#039;s active role in overseeing Yemen airstrikes\">making significant decisions<\/a> and playing a crucial role in\u200c governance.

Although Goldberg admitted that she was &#8220;musing&#8221; with her \u200cstatement, it reflects her views on Musk&#8217;s influence\u2063 in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/actress-sarah-paulson-talks-finding-the-humanity-in-clinton-whistleblower-linda-tripp\/\" title=\"Actress Sarah Paulson Talks \u2018Finding The Humanity\u2019 In Clinton Whistleblower Linda Tripp\">current political landscape<\/a>.\u2064 Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin\u200b also joined the conversation \u2062by mentioning the rise of BlueSky, a new platform that serves as an alternative to Musk&#8217;s social media\u2062 platform, X (formerly known as Twitter).  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Whoopi Goldberg claims Elon Musk is &lsquo;the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">actual vice president&#038;rsquo<\/a>;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1889480\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em>The View<\/em> co-host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/whoopi-goldberg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Whoopi Goldberg<\/a> speculated that billionaire and Trump ally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/elon-musk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Elon Musk<\/a> is &ldquo;the actual vice president,&rdquo; deeming Vice President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jd-vance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">J.D.
