Sunny Hostin issued a call to stop Elon Musk from further dismantling the government on this morning’s episode of The View, reminding the Hot Topics table and viewers that the Tesla founder was never elected and doesn’t have the constitutional power to be slashing so many federal programs and jobs.

During a discussion about a recent blow-up fight between Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the panel all shared their own theories, with Ana Navarro suggesting Rubio was having a “difficult” time working under President Donald Trump and that he and his team leaked the story of the fight to the press.

Hostin agreed, suggesting Rubio is “in a pickle” after giving up his Senate seat to serve as Secretary of State while overseeing policies he’s actively spoken out against.

“I think that’s probably accurate, because the leaks are coming from somewhere, right, and they have to have come from inside the room,” Hostin said.

She then noted that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is working right alongside Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and recently gave them access to the child support payment database, meaning DOGE can now see “some of the most important financial, personal information of millions of Americans.”

Hostin proclaimed, “I think we need to really make it clear that Elon Musk is doing all of this illegally and unconstitutionally. He is not the president of the United States, he was not voted to be the president of the United States, he is not a federally elected official of any kind. He’s not a Senate-confirmed officer of the United States, but he has this so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which is not a federal executive department.”

“Everything he does is lawless, it’s unconstitutional and it has to be stopped,” the co-host declared.

Hostin closed out her remarks by mentioning a lawsuit filed by the Campaign Legal Center to stop Musk and DOGE’s ” illegal power grab.”

“They are challenging his right to do anything, and we really need to keep our eye on that particular case,” she said.
