Joy Behar Walks Back Elon Musk 'Pro-Apartheid' Claim After On-Air Remarks

The View co-host admitted she had no evidence for her comments about Musk's stance during apartheid and issued a partial retraction during Thursday's broadcast.

Joy Behar claimed Elon Musk was 'pro-apartheid' during a segment on The View but later acknowledged she had no evidence to support the statement.
Behar's remarks linked Musk's South African upbringing during apartheid to alleged support for the regime, which she retracted after a commercial break.
She characterized Musk as a 'foreign agent' and 'enemy of the state' while criticizing his relationship with former President Donald Trump.
Critics on social media and commentators from various outlets condemned Behar's comments, accusing her of spreading misinformation and bigotry.
Musk, born in South Africa in 1971, has never expressed support for apartheid, and his mother has publicly defended him against similar accusations in the past.
