Summary

Elon Musk accused 60 Minutes of deception, saying its staff “deserve a long prison sentence” after the show aired an interview with ex-USAID administrator Andrew Natsios, who refuted claims of fraud in the agency.

Musk has previously criticized 60 Minutes for allegedly deceptive editing. However, Mediaite’s Colby Hall reviewed the released footage and defended CBS, stating it followed standard journalistic practices.

Meanwhile, JD Vance condemned European speech laws but distanced himself from Musk’s stance.

    The world understand the USA is having some kind of episode right now . We greatly appreciate it if you could manage to keep it within your borders. Your neighbors would be glad to help rebuild once it’s calmed down.

      Except this isn’t an American thing. The whole world is slowly sliding to fascism. For fucks sake Germany is on route to elect fucking Nazis again. Haven’t seen how their elections ended but it wasn’t looking good.

        America spearheaded this idiocy with Trump’s first election. Hopefully now that it’s well beyond the point of fucking us we’ll now at least be an example of what not to do.

            Trump was campaigning on the same shit at the same time. Both events are examples of far-right authoritarian tides rising around the world.
