Just in: Alec Baldwin Calls Elon Musk ‘A Scumbag’ On ‘The View’, Musk reacts

It is a truth universally acknowledged that when a Hollywood celebrity and a tech billionaire feud, the most likely place for this would be, without a doubt, daytime talk show, “The View”. Last Tuesday, audiences were served a heaping portion of this unexpected yet somehow mundane drama when Alec Baldwin, renowned for his fiery temperament, resorted to name-calling Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, with a term that shall henceforth be referred to as “the S-word”.

Alec Baldwin, in a stirring episode of ‘The View’ made an elaborate spectacle of himself, a performance worthy of his Emmy-winning SNL skits. In a riveting display of hot-blooded rhetoric, he called Elon Musk, among other things, ‘a scumbag’. The name-calling appeared unprovoked, merely adding a spicy topping to the stew of Baldwin’s ire towards tech giants.
