Elon Musk, who chairs the Department of Government Efficiency, continues his mission to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse, which has drawn criticism from the left. During Thursday&#8217;s episode, Joy Behar expressed her discontent by pointing out that Musk is not a native-born American since he hails from South Africa. In her comments, she bizarrely accused him of supporting apartheid\u2014a claim she later retracted on air while asking Musk not to sue her. <\/p>\n<p>While discussing President Donald Trump&#8217;s first cabinet meeting attended by Musk, Behar remarked that Trump could &#8220;take a nap&#8221; while someone who was born under apartheid in South Africa was present.

After facing backlash for this statement\u2014an unfounded accusation\u2014Behar attempted to clarify her position by admitting uncertainty about whether Musk actually supported apartheid during his upbringing.<\/p>\n<p>She then implored Musk not to take legal action against her: \u201cSo don\u2019t be suing me, ok Elon?\u201d This incident isn&#8217;t the first time &#8220;The View&#8221; has had to retract outrageous statements to avoid lawsuits; previously co-host Sunny Hostin had to read a legal notice after making serious allegations against Matt Gaetz.<\/p>\n<p>Why would Behar make such an accusation against Musk?

With nearly thirty years on &#8220;The View,&#8221; Behar&#8217;s blunder cannot be dismissed as mere inexperience. Should Musk consider suing?
