“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg suggested Thursday that Billionaire X owner Elon Musk might be President-elect Donald Trump's “real” running mate.
Goldberg made the claim on Thursday's episode of his ABC talk show, claiming that Musk is making decisions as if he were effectively Trump's second-in-command. And she argued that she should be asked to sell her social media platform.
