US EditionWhoopi Goldberg & Sunny Hostin Slam ‘Racist’ Elon Musk Over ‘The Odyssey’ Casting Uproar
Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin accused Elon Musk of racism for criticizing Lupita Nyong'o's casting in Nolan's film, linking it to his prior promotion of white nationalist views.
- On air, View co‑hosts Goldberg and Hostin rebuked Musk, with Goldberg telling Musk `When it comes to artistic stuff, go sit down, please!` and questioning his comments on Lupita Nyong'o's casting.
- Following casting listings on IMDb, Musk posted last week that Nolan `lost his integrity` after a user disputed Lupita Nyong'o portraying Helen, who remains unconfirmed on IMDb.
- Hostin argued that fictional roles and beauty are subjective and said `It doesn't have to be a white person that plays this part`, while Goldberg challenged critics to `look in a mirror` and warned `And don't bother to try to clown me, baby, I know what I look like`.
- The on‑air rebuttal framed casting as separate from fixed beauty standards, emphasizing there is no single standard of beauty ahead of Christopher Nolan's July release.
- View co-host Sunny Hostin linked Musk's recent amplification of a post calling for `white solidarity` and warning whites `will be slaughtered` to his past claims that the `South African government is super racist` and that whites are a `rapidly diminishing minority`.
