In today’s episode of Whoopi Says What Now?, the iconic co-host of The View has tossed a curveball bigger than a Kardashian plot twist. Forget political pundits and expert analysts—Whoopi Goldberg has officially declared her theory on who’s really acting as Vice President-elect, and spoiler alert: it’s not who you’d expect.
According to Whoopi, while Donald Trump technically ran with JD Vance as his VP pick, there’s a plot twist brewing in the political soap opera: Elon Musk might be the real VP-elect. Yes, that Elon Musk—the billionaire CEO, part-time meme lord, and man who casually launched a car into space just because he could.
Elon Musk: From X (the app) to VP?
Why does Whoopi think Musk is pulling the VP strings? Well, she dropped this juicy tidbit on The View, saying, “I believe Elon Musk is the actual vice president. Yes, I believe that.” She then went on to muse—because musings are Whoopi’s brand—that JD Vance might just be a stand-in, like an understudy in a Broadway show waiting for their big moment. Except, in this case, Elon’s the lead, and Vance is forever waiting in the wings.
Her reasoning? Musk is “making decisions” and “doing things.” What kind of things, you ask? Great question, but apparently enough to make Whoopi side-eye the official ticket harder than a bad wig reveal.
Trump + Musk = The Ultimate Power Couple?
Reports (and by reports, we mean the rumor mill) suggest Trump and Musk have been spending a suspicious amount of time together, leading Whoopi to theorize that Musk is the one calling the shots. JD Vance, meanwhile, has been about as active as your gym membership in December.
Whoopi then capped off her commentary with this gem: “So I think, ‘Why doesn’t he have to give up X?’ I’m musing.” Translation: If Musk is moonlighting as VP-elect, shouldn’t he hand over the reins to X (formerly Twitter, currently everyone’s collective headache)? Priorities, people!
So, Is Elon Musk Actually the VP-elect?
Look, Whoopi might be onto something, or she might just be giving us a new conspiracy theory to obsess over. Either way, let’s all take a moment to imagine Musk in the White House, wheeling around in a Tesla, live-tweeting cabinet meetings, and announcing new policies via Dogecoin memes.
Whether you agree with Whoopi or not, one thing’s for sure: politics is starting to feel a lot more like reality TV, and honestly? We’re not mad about it. Stay tuned for next week’s episode of The View, where Whoopi might just reveal her theory about who’s actually running NASA. (Hint: It’s probably Beyoncé.)
NEW: The View's Joy Behar says people like their show because they tell the truth, unlike "dragon believer" Joe Rogan.
Lmao.
Whoopi Goldberg later chimed in & claimed conservatives on X are bullying people off the platform and that Elon Musk is the real Vice President.
