Whoopi Goldberg took shots at Elon Musk after the Tesla owner criticized Lupita Nyong\u2019o\u2019s possible character in Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey.<\/p>\n
The EGOT actor defended Nyong\u2019o after Musk said Nolan had \u201clost his integrity\u201d over unconfirmed rumors the Oscar winner would play Helen of Troy in the new epic.<\/p>\n
\u201cOoh, you know, because Homer described this fictional character as fair-skinned, blonde, who was so beautiful that men started a war over her,\u201d Goldberg said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if you realize this, Lupita is also considered one of the world\u2019s most beautiful women. So, I\u2019m not sure what you\u2019re trying to say.\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cYou don\u2019t actually have to go to the movie. See, I don\u2019t know why you feel the need to speak on this. I would suggest looking in a mirror if you have any concerns about people\u2019s looks, if this is where we\u2019re going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goldberg added a disclaimer in case Musk responded to her criticism and had his supporters come after her.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t bother to clown me, baby. I know what I look like,\u201d she added. \u201cThere\u2019s so many things I want to say to you that are rude and awful, but I won\u2019t do it. But know that I\u2019m thinking it.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the other View panelists took turns to weigh in on the topic, Goldberg ended by saying, \u201cElon, just sit down. For this, when it comes to artistic stuff, go sit down, please.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nyong\u2019o joined the cast of The Odyssey in November 2024, but her character has not yet been revealed.<\/p>\n
The Odyssey is slated to premiere on July 17, 2026, and is an adaptation of Homer\u2019s epic poem about Odysseus, King of Ithaca, and his perilous journey home after the Trojan War. The film\u2019s cast includes Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, and Elliot Page, among others.<\/p>\n
