During the end of the segment, 'The View' co-host called on Musk to be what gets "cut" next as she could not remember what a government contract was.

She said, "Elon has very many, what do you call it" when her co-host Sunny Hostin added, "Government contracts." 

Furthermore, she demanded to know when she permitted the government to buy Telsa Cybertrucks and go into contract with SpaceX.

"I don't remember looking for an armored car. I don't remember asking for it, I don't know why I'm paying for it. I want to know when did I say, 'Hey, we need another agency next to NASA, so let's just' – So, when did we start paying for his stuff?" Goldberg questioned.

"Whoopi reaches a new level of stupidity every day, it’s really quite impressive," an individual noted.
