Summary

Elon Musk accused 60 Minutes of deception, saying its staff ā€œdeserve a long prison sentenceā€ 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, Mediaiteā€™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 Muskā€™s stance.

    Supposed most powerful billionaire that has the world at his fingertips, can do no wrong and controls everything ā€¦ canā€™t take a bit of criticism from a TV show.

    This guyā€™s skin is about as thick and tough as wet tissue paper.

      Itā€™s obvious if you look at how he runs Twitter. Thereā€™s actually more censorship now than before this ā€˜free speech absolutistā€™ took over.

        Thatā€™s because they all think ā€œfree speechā€ means ā€œmy fringe speechā€.

        Twitter/X is a ā€œfree speechā€ platform where the swastika is protected, and the Rainbow flag is banned. Every account still on there today sees this as a good thing, or as the cost of messaging on that platform. All of them should be ostracized and dropped until they close their accounts.
