Elon Musk’s statement shocks the entire studio with 8 shocking words after Alec Baldwin called him ‘scum’ on The View
In what could be considered the most chaotic episode of The View to date, Alec Baldwin, in his trademark dramatic style, lashed out at Elon Musk, calling the tech mogul “scum” during a heated discussion about the ethics of billionaires. While most would expect Musk to respond with a carefully worded tweet or some futuristic philosophical comment, what he said next left the entire studio in stunned silence.
Taking a moment to sip his coffee (or possibly rocket fuel, knowing him), Musk leaned back and uttered just eight words that sent shockwaves through the room: “I am rubber, you are glue, Alec.”
In a surprising twist of events, the usually calm and collected Elon Musk left the entire studio in shock with a brief yet impactful eight-word statement following Alec Baldwin’s heated remarks about him on The View. Baldwin, known for his outspoken personality, had recently called Musk a “scoundrel” during a live segment, accusing the tech mogul of having questionable ethics and business practices. The fiery exchange quickly made headlines, but Musk’s response took everyone by surprise, leaving viewers and studio guests alike in stunned silence.
When asked about Baldwin’s comments, Musk responded with just eight words: “I don’t mind being called worse, honestly.” His deadpan delivery and apparent lack of emotional reaction to Baldwin’s harsh words sent a clear message: Musk wasn’t going to engage in a public back-and-forth. Instead, he chose to downplay the insult and maintain his usual calm, almost indifferent demeanor. This unexpected response only fueled the media frenzy, as fans, critics, and observers tried to decode Musk’s intentions behind the comment.
Baldwin’s criticism of Musk seemed to stem from Musk’s controversial business moves, particularly his handling of Tesla, SpaceX, and his approach to social media, especially on Twitter. Baldwin’s label of “scoundrel” was meant to highlight what he saw as Musk’s unscrupulous business practices and the way Musk often operates in the public eye. On The View, Baldwin expressed frustration with Musk’s influence, suggesting that the billionaire had manipulated public opinion and used his wealth and power for personal gain.
However, Musk’s response indicated that he was unbothered by Baldwin’s insult. His words carried a tone of nonchalance, showing that he was unwilling to allow the actor’s criticism to affect him. Musk has long been known for his unorthodox approach to both business and public relations. Whether it’s engaging in Twitter feuds, making bold claims about technology, or pushing the limits of social norms, Musk tends to shrug off criticism and keep his focus on his ventures. This response was no different.
In the aftermath, the conversation quickly shifted to a debate about the nature of public discourse. Many saw Musk’s calm, almost dismissive response as a sign of confidence and resilience in the face of personal attacks. Others interpreted it as a deliberate attempt to avoid further confrontation, choosing instead to rise above the negativity.
Yes, you read that right. Musk, the man known for launching rockets, creating self-driving cars, and occasionally crashing the stock market with a meme, was back to preschool-level comebacks. The audience was transfixed, the presenters were speechless, and Baldwin… well, his face was contorted in what can only be described as a mix of confusion and embarrassment.
Social media instantly exploded. The hashtag #RubberAndGlue started trending, with memes comparing Baldwin’s angry outburst to Musk’s childish response. Some fans said Musk was a genius for diffusing the tension with humor, while others accused him of shirking responsibility with “elementary school diversion tactics.”
A visibly frustrated Baldwin tried to steer the conversation to a more serious tone, but the damage was already done. Joy Behar tried to salvage the segment by asking Musk about his latest SpaceX project, but the Tesla CEO was too busy laughing at his own wit.
It seems that even in the world of multi-million dollar space races and Hollywood theatrics, sometimes the oldest tricks are the most effective. Whether you’re on Alec’s side or Elon’s side, one thing is clear: this bizarre exchange has officially set a new standard for daytime drama.
