The hosts of The View speculated on Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s ally and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has the power to destroy Trump’s legislative agenda, and that the president should be “afraid” of him.

In a segment, cohosts Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, and Alyssa Farah Griffin insisted Musk could hurt Trump’s proposed tax and budget bill.
