Though we are still gathering all of the freakouts over Elon Muskâs purchase of Twitter, I havenât found a dumber reaction thus far than Sunny Hostinâs.
According to Hostin, one of the irked ladies on The View, Musk spent $44 billion only so that straight white men could be straight white men online.
Hereâs an actual segment that ABC aired on Tuesday:
The most technical term, I think, for whatâs happening is âmeltdownâ.

âI think Twitter can be a really horrible place, and I think people are excited because he is sort of going to unleash the trolls, right? I think he is saying you get to say whatever you want. Iâm going to take away the guardrails. And for me, that is something that is a bit scary. And I think itâs going to be scary to a lot of women because there have been some surveys done, and 38 percent of women around the world have said that they have been on the receiving end of a lot of abuse on Twitter. Eighty-five percent of women have said they have seen the abuse.
âWhatâs interesting to me about Twitter is only 22 percent of adults are on Twitter in the world. And thatâs from a 2019 Pew study. And so Twitter is not the real world. And in fact, on Twitter it is predominantly straight white men. So when Elon Musk says, âWow, this is about free speech,â it seems to me that itâs about free speech of straight white men.â
Scary, indeed.
If straight white men predominantly make up Twitter, as Hostin claims, that means straight white men arenât as racist and sexist as The View claims they are.
The 22 percent of adults to which Hostin is referring are some of the wokest people on earth, with a political leaning of D+15. If this group made up a state, itâd tie Hawaii and Vermont as Americaâs most liberal.
But, I know, facts donât matter. Only emotions do.
Hostinâs reaction reminds me of an elementary student who canât provide a reason as to why he doesnât like someone, so he just says âheâs stupidâ â thatâs always effective on the playground.
Similarly, yelling âstraight white guyâ is an evergreen way to satisfy your television peers.
So when you canât argue the facts but you still want to make a provocative statement, itâs best just to attack straight white men. You should try it sometime.
Thank you for your service, Sunny.
