WATCH: ‘The View’ Hosts Go Off The Rails, Float Absurd Theory About Trump And Elon

The hosts of ‘The View’ unleashed an eyebrow-raising theory about President-elect Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and JD Vance—one that sounded more like the plot of a bad political thriller than a daytime talk show segment. During Thursday’s episode on ABC, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar took turns speculating on an outlandish scenario where Musk and Vance are allegedly plotting to “get rid of Trump” and seize control of the government for themselves. The supposed alliance was jokingly referred to as “Musk/Vance.”

“Who is in charge? Because I’ve been saying it for a while. I’ve been saying it,” Goldberg rambled as she launched into her monologue. “I think Elon Musk believes he’s president. I do. I’ve called him vice president. I called him president because I don’t know what JD is doing. I hardly ever say, I don’t remember the last time we even talked about JD.”

Not to be outdone, Behar jumped in with her own tinfoil-hat take: “He’s planning the presidency when he’s gonna get rid of Trump.”

Whoopi, apparently intrigued, asked Behar, “So you think it’s Musk, Musk/Vance?”

Behar’s deadpan response: “Possible.”

It didn’t stop there. In what could only be described as a surreal moment of daytime TV, Goldberg sent an ominous warning: “Stay away from the stairways.” Goldberg continued, “Because, you know, people put their leg out to trip you going down the stairs. Watch out.”

Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and Vance, Trump’s Vice President-elect, have emerged as frequent targets of the show’s liberal panel. However, the leap to a Musk-Vance conspiracy against Trump seems far-fetched, to say the least. Goldberg and Behar, both no strangers to controversy, have previously lobbed wild accusations at conservatives. After a commercial break, Goldberg backpedaled on her earlier comments, attempting to downplay the insinuation of violence.

“Okay, I need to clean something up,” Whoopi said as the show returned. “Because my cat lays in wait for me on my stairs all the time. And that’s what I was, I was thinking of that. I wasn’t trying to indicate that they were actually standing there with their legs out, hoping he would trip.”

Behar nodded, and co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in, “No one wants anything done to the President.” Goldberg added emphatically, “No, nobody wants anything done to the person. It was lighthearted, and it’s the holidays—come on!”

The panel awkwardly tried to move past the incident, with Goldberg quipping about the hazards of hosting such a controversial show.
