Elon Musk Sues Joy Behar and The View for $70 Million Over Defamation

Elon Musk has filed a $70 million defamation lawsuit against Joy Behar and The View, alleging that comments made during a recent episode damaged his reputation and caused emotional distress.

The suit, filed in federal court in New York, centers on Behar’s critical remarks about Musk’s leadership of Twitter (now X), his business practices, and personal life. Musk’s legal team argues the statements were false, malicious, and harmful to both his public image and business interests. They seek not only financial compensation but also a public retraction. The case reflects Musk’s growing use of legal action to counter media criticism. Behar and The View have not yet responded publicly, though insiders suggest preparations for a defense are underway. The lawsuit highlights the tense relationship between public figures and the media, raising questions about free speech, accountability, and the evolving legal battles surrounding reputation in the digital age.
