“Promise?” The Tesla CEO’s one-word reply went viral almost instantly, garnering millions of views, likes, and comments.
Some of his supporters cheered the remark, while others criticized Musk for engaging in political drama instead of focusing on his companies—especially during times of public scrutiny over medical ethics, wellness management, and even mental health in corporate leadership.
But Musk wasn’t done. He later followed up with another post: “I hear Canada is lovely this time of year. Hope she enjoys the maple syrup.”
His sarcastic jab only added fuel to the fire, with thousands joining the online debate about Behar’s move and Musk’s response.
Some users even speculated whether this feud could escalate into discussions about media liability, defamation, or even emotional distress claims, should legal teams get involved.
