‘The View’ co-host Joy Behar showed us what she really things about immigrants on Thursday when she trashed entrepreneur and DOGE leader Elon Musk as being a “foreign agent” who is “pro-apartheid” and running the federal government while President Donald Trump takes “a nap.”
She began, “Elon Musk kisses [Trump’s] butt and strokes his tiny ego, or big ego, whatever it is,” cue laughter from the pea-brained audience. “And he doesn’t get to do — he can take a nap while the guy, who was not born in this country, who was born under apartheid in South Africa, so has that mentality going on. He was pro-apartheid, as I understand it —”
“He is a naturalized citizen,” cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin jumped in.
“He’s a naturalized citizen,” Behar scoffed. “Oh, how did he do that? Did he come over the border legally?”
NEW: The View’s Joy Behar appears to come out against legal immigration, rips Elon Musk for being a “foreigner.”
“The guy was not born in this country.”
“Trump let this foreigner, foreign agent, an enemy of the United States, do his job.”

To which Griffin recalled that she believes he originally came to the United States in an H1B Visa, which prompted cohost Sunny Hostin to claim that he’d overstayed that visa, therefore suggesting that he is an illegal immigrant.
“This is just perfectly wonderful for Trump,” Behar continued. “He can take a nap and let this foreigner, foreign agent, you know, an enemy of the United States, do his job.”
After a commercial break, Behar scrambled to cut back on her claims. “I don’t really know for sure if he was [pro-apartheid]. He grew up in that time when [it] was in full blown … He was around at that time. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t … don’t be suing me, okay, Elon?”
Behar complains about "getting flack" about accusing Musk of being "pro-apartheid" as a child and begs @ElonMusk not to sue her for defamation:
