Whoopi Goldberg Stuns ‘The View’ Audience with Wild Joke About Elon Musk and JD Vance’s Secret Plot to Take Down Trump

In a moment that left jaws dropping and social media in a frenzy, Whoopi Goldberg shocked The View audience today with an off

The joke, which came during a heated discussion about Trump’s dominance in the Republican primary, sparked immediate reactions from her co-hosts and the audience, with some laughing nervously and others visibly stunned.

“I’m telling you,” Goldberg said with a smirk. “I wouldn’t be surprised if Elon Musk and JD Vance are in some dark room somewhere, twirling their mustaches, trying to figure out how to make Trump disappear—politically, of course.”

As gasps filled the studio, co-host Joy Behar burst into laughter, while Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump aide, quickly interjected, “Whoa, Whoopi! That’s a wild one.”

Is There Any Truth to the Joke?

While Goldberg was clearly making a tongue-in-cheek remark, her comment sparked a larger debate online. Could there actually be powerful figures within Trump’s own political orbit plotting to take him down?

Elon Musk, who has had a rocky relationship with Trump, has remained ambiguous about his stance on the former president. While he’s supported Ron DeSantis and criticized President Joe Biden, Musk has also distanced himself from full-throated MAGA support. JD Vance, on the other hand, is one of Trump’s most vocal defenders—but in the cutthroat world of politics, alliances can shift overnight.

Conservative commentators wasted no time firing back at Goldberg’s quip. “This is exactly how conspiracy theories start,” tweeted Fox News’ Jesse Watters. “Whoopi is out here planting ideas in the minds of the anti-Trump establishment.”

Trump’s Camp Responds

In true Trump fashion, the former president wasted no time addressing the remark. Taking to Truth Social, Trump dismissed Goldberg’s joke but also issued a warning.

“Fake News Whoopi is at it again! Now she’s saying the deep state RINOs like Vance and ‘Tech Bro’ Musk are against me. Nonsense! We know who the real enemies of America are. MAGA will prevail!!!”

Meanwhile, JD Vance’s office released a brief statement, saying, “Senator Vance has always been a supporter of President Trump and remains committed to advancing his agenda. No secret meetings, no mustache-twirling.”

Musk, true to form, replied on X (formerly Twitter) with a simple, “LOL.”

The Fallout

While Goldberg’s joke was clearly meant as a playful jab, it has fueled speculation about growing tensions within the conservative movement. With Trump’s legal troubles mounting and the Republican field narrowing, could some of his own allies be looking for an off-ramp?

Whether Musk and Vance are scheming behind the scenes or not, one thing is certain: Whoopi’s joke has added yet another layer of intrigue to an already chaotic election season.
