‘THE VIEW’ ADMITS TO TARGETING TESLA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IN RESPONSE TO
MUSK’S TWITTER SHARE PURCHASE

ABC's liberal daytime gabfest "The View" admitted Tuesday it was peppering
Tesla's roadside assistance program with criticism in response to its CEO Elon
Musk becoming the largest shareholder for social media giant Twitter.

ABC's liberal daytime gabfest "The View" admitted Tuesday it was peppering Tesla
with criticism in response to the electronic car company's CEO Elon Musk
becoming the largest shareholder for social media giant Twitter.




The left-wing co-hosts dedicated an entire segment of the show to slamming
Tesla's roadside assistance program, suggesting Musk could afford to invest more
into it since he's "got a lot of money" and recently became Twitter's largest
shareholder.

TUCKER CARLSON: ELON MUSK RESTORING FREE SPEECH TO TWITTER WOULD BE A THREAT TO
THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE



"I have a Tesla. Very wonderful car. I really like it. Really happy. I
discovered yesterday that if something goes wrong with that car, you get a flat,
there’s no way to get anybody," co-host Whoopi Goldberg began the segment.



Co-host Sunny Hostin echoed Goldberg's claim, stating that her husband also
owned a Tesla.



Goldberg noted that Tesla vehicles didn't have a button the driver could push in
case of emergency or need of other assistance, while Hostin added that they also
didn't come with a spare tire.

"There’s no spare tire and there’s no way to get to anybody. They want you to
email them for help," Goldberg said to laughter from the audience, leading
co-host Joy Behar to ask what drivers were supposed to do if they had no phone
signal.



"It seems like a crazy problem, but the truth of the matter is, had this
happened to me on top of a road on some mountain, I would be very frightened,"
Goldberg said. 

She then turned her attention to Musk and, appearing frustrated, attempted to
tie his becoming the largest Twitter shareholder to what she suggested was the
lack of sufficient funding in the roadside assistance program.



"You, Elon, have bought a piece of Twitter, well, I’m tweeting you from here.
Take some of your money, please, and create some roadside assistance thing that
doesn’t require me to look for a signal, because if there isn’t one, you’re
really screwed," she claimed.

CNN'S BRIAN STELTER SAYS THERE'S A ‘FEAR’ ABOUT ELON MUSK BECOMING TWITTER'S
BIGGEST SHAREHOLDER

Behar claimed there were "a lot of problems" when it came to Tesla vehicles,
citing the potential for electric vehicle drivers being stranded because
"there's no way to plug in a car in the middle of a snow storm."

Hostin stated that her husband recently experienced a flat tire with his Tesla
and that there was a number for him to call for assistance. She claimed it took
five hours for him to receive help.




Goldberg complained that the number Hostin was referring to prompted her to send
"an email" for assistance and that she was "very afraid" of being stranded with
no way to contact anyone.

"Tesla, you need to fix this. This is a dangerous situation," Goldberg added.

"If it’s a problem that can be fixed, I don't understand why they would not fix
it because it is much better for the climate," Hostin said, before Goldberg
jumped in claiming Teslas were unable to be towed because "you can't lift it
up."



"I'm saying this because this is a fixable problem … you've got enough dough to
put a Tesla group out there that can come and rescue women with children, older
people," Goldberg said.




"They’re telling me in my ear the reason we’re discussing this is because Elon
Musk put all his dollars and became a board member of Twitter. He got a lot of
money," Hostin said.

According to a Monday filing by the SEC, Musk purchased a 9.2% stake in the
left-leaning company. His purchase follows his sharp criticism of the company in
March over a lack of commitment to free speech.

Tesla did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
