In a fiery moment now dominating headlines, Joe Rogan has taken Whoopi Goldberg to task for what heâs calling âoutrageous liesâ and âreckless media behaviorâ after she made controversial remarks about Elon Musk on The View. What began as a routine episode spiraled into an explosive feud now involving viral backlash, legal speculation, and a fresh debate over media accountability.
During a recent View segment, Goldberg accused Musk of âdeliberately using his platform to promote misinformationâ and hinted at possible unethical activity tied to his companies. While she offered no evidence to support her claims, the comments aired unchallenged â until Joe Rogan stepped in.
âEnough With the Lies!â
On a new episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan didn’t mince words:
âWhoopi Goldberg is out here throwing bombs at Elon with zero proof. Iâm sick of this garbage. Enough with the lies.â
Rogan went on to accuse Goldberg and The View of âweaponizing media influenceâ without accountability and said the current state of daytime television is a âcircus of unchecked narratives.â
âThis isnât journalism. This is gossip in a political costume,â he said, drawing applause from his live audience and millions of fans online.
SOCIAL MEDIA IGNITES
Within hours, Roganâs remarks were clipped and shared across X, YouTube, and TikTok. Hashtags like #RoganVsWhoopi, #MediaReckoning, and #DefendElon began trending, while millions chimed in to support Roganâs takedown.
âJoe Rogan just said what every sane person is thinking,â one tweet read.
âFinally someone holding Whoopi accountable,â another user wrote.
On the other side, Goldbergâs defenders called Roganâs comments âbullyingâ and accused him of trying to silence dissenting voices.
LAWSUIT ON THE HORIZON?
Sources close to Elon Muskâs legal team suggest that a defamation lawsuit against ABC or Goldberg is âon the tableâ and being âactively evaluated.â While neither Musk nor ABC has commented officially, legal analysts say the fallout could be huge if Musk chooses to act.
âThe remarks were damaging, unfounded, and broadcast to millions,â one legal expert said. âThereâs a clear path for legal action.â
THE BIGGER ISSUE: MEDIA ACCOUNTABILITY
Rogan closed his segment with a larger critique of todayâs media:
âThese people say whatever they want and hide behind ratings. Meanwhile, theyâre poisoning the publicâs trust. That has to stop.â
His call for truth and transparency is now fueling renewed conversations about standards in broadcast commentary, especially on daytime shows like The View.
WHATâS NEXT?
As the feud escalates, fans and critics alike are waiting to see how Goldberg responds. ABC has not released a statement, but insiders claim the network is closely monitoring the fallout.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk liked several posts defending Rogan and criticizing Goldberg â a digital signal that this story is far from over.
Stay tuned as this media showdown continues to unfold â because this may not just be a feud, but the spark that forces long-overdue changes in how mainstream media operates.
