Elon Musk’s statement stuns the entire studio with 8 shocking words after Alec Baldwin calls him a “scumbag” on The View

In what may be the most chaotic episode of *The View* to date, Alec Baldwin, in his signature dramatic style, went off on Elon Musk, calling the tech mogul a “scumbag” during a heated discussion about the ethics of billionaires. While most would have expected Musk to fire back with a carefully worded tweet or some futuristic philosophical provocation, what he said next left the entire studio in stunned silence.

Taking a moment to sip his coffee (or possibly rocket fuel, knowing him), Musk sat back and uttered just eight words that sent shockwaves through the room: **“I’m rubber, you’re glue, Alec.”**

Yes, you read that correctly. Musk, the man known for launching rockets, creating self-driving cars, and occasionally crashing the stock market with a meme, took this back to kindergarten-level comebacks. The audience froze, the presenters were speechless, and Baldwin… well, his face contorted in what can only be described as a mix of confusion and secondhand embarrassment.

Social media instantly exploded. #RubberAndGlue began trending, with memes comparing Baldwin’s impetuous outburst to Musk’s childish retort. Some fans called Musk a genius for defusing the tension with humor, while others accused him of dodging responsibility with “elementary school deflection tactics.”

Baldwin, visibly frustrated, tried to steer the conversation back to a more serious tone, but the damage had already been done. Joy Behar tried to salvage the segment by asking Musk about his latest SpaceX project, but the Tesla CEO was too busy laughing at his own wit.

It seems that even in the world of billion-dollar space races and Hollywood theatrics, sometimes the oldest tricks in the book are the most effective. Whether you’re team Alec or team Elon, one thing is clear: This bizarre exchange has officially set a new standard for daytime drama.
