Star Jones declared on Wednesday that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is a “foreign agent,” arguing that he was no less crazy than the guys standing on the corner in Times Square predicting the end of the world.

Jones, a former cohost on ABC’s “The View,” came back to the show for Wednesday’s broadcast and suggested that Musk — who has had a top-secret security clearance for years due to SpaceX’s government contracts — had somehow not been “properly vetted” by the U.S. government.

Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin kicked off the conversation with her response to President Donald Trump’s claim that the United States would eventually take ownership of Gaza, explaining that she could see any one of three scenarios playing out.

First, she said, Trump could simply be saying one thing to distract people from something else. Second, he could be viewing the region solely as a real estate developer. And third, he could be presenting an extreme option to make his final decision seem less crazy by comparison.

Cohost Whoopi Goldberg, who defended former President Joe Biden long after it was clear that he was unable to do the work his office required, joked that maybe Trump was just too old to be president.

“I mean, it’s day 16 of Trump 2.0, and it’s just typical of him to throw a bunch of cray-cray up against the wall so that it distracts you from what’s really going on, and the federal employees that are scared, that don’t know if they’re going to have a job, if they’re going to have their retirement, and civil rights being diminished, and human rights being diminished,” Jones said before pivoting to attack Musk.

“And people knowing your business because a foreign agent has now access — who has not been vetted by the United States government,” she alleged. “And the media is playing into it, in my opinion. I mean, you’re allowing foolishness to distract us from facts and what is going on. It used to be you have people stand on the corner and just be crazy at Times Square. Now they’re all over the place.”
