“Elon Musk sues The View and Whoopi Goldberg for $60 million.”

X owner and entrepreneur Elon Musk and “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg are perennial stars of online misinformation, and sometimes they appear in claims together. 

In May, we debunked a claim that Musk had fired Goldberg and her “View” colleagues after “acquiring ABC.”

Now, a Facebook post says Musk sued “The View” and Goldberg for $60 million, claiming”they are lying about him.”

This post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.)

We searched for credible evidence such as new stories or legal filings to corroborate this claim and found none. Rather, we discovered it was poached from a self-described satire site. 

About a year ago, a blog called SpaceXMania posted about the supposed lawsuit in a story labeled “satire.”

We rate claims that this is authentic news False.
