Joy Behar, the outspoken co-host of The View, has announced that she will be leaving the United States to settle in Canada, citing Elon Musk as a primary reason. Behar, known for her criticism of conservative figures and billionaires, made the announcement during a heated discussion on The View, stating:
“I can’t stand the direction this country is headed. And quite frankly, I don’t want to live under the same sky as Elon Musk. The man is dangerous, irresponsible, and represents everything wrong with America today. Canada seems like a much saner place to be.”
Her comments immediately sparked a storm of reactions, with some applauding her decision while others criticized her for what they called an overdramatic exit. However, it wasn’t just the public who reacted—Elon Musk himself quickly fired back.
Elon Musk’s Sharp Response
Within hours of Behar’s announcement, Musk took to his platform X (formerly Twitter) to respond in his signature blunt style:
“Promise?”
The Tesla CEO’s one-word reply went viral almost instantly, garnering millions of views, likes, and comments. Some of his supporters cheered the remark, while others criticized Musk for engaging in political drama instead of focusing on his companies.
But Musk wasn’t done. He later followed up with another post:
“I hear Canada is lovely this time of year. Hope she enjoys the maple syrup.”
His sarcastic jab only added fuel to the fire, with thousands joining the online debate about Behar’s move and Musk’s response.
