Comedian Bill Burr has been blasted online following comments he made on ABC’s ‘The View’.

The blasting follows the comedian’s guest appearance on ‘The View’, where he criticised Tesla CEO Elon Musk, labelling him a “nerd”.

‘The View’ co-host Joy Behar questioned the comedian if there was anyone in particular getting his “ire up these days” more than usual.

“Nerds, the nerds that own the politicians, all these tech nerds that want to build robots because they don’t know how to talk to hot women,” he said.

“I think Elon has got the rockets going because they realise there’s other earths out there and they’re going to trash this one because they don’t have any concern for it.”

The comedian’s comments have been blasted online, with many users taking to social media platform ‘X’ to say he has had a “tragic fall from grace”.
