Summary
MAGA henchman Elon Musk has joined Republican attacks on investigative program 60 Minutes, accusing the show of lying about layoffs at a U.S. aid agency.
He criticized a segment featuring a fired worker, claiming severance was offered, though only to those who resigned quickly.
Musk also alleged the program tried to sway the election. His comments follow Trump’s escalating legal battle with CBS, including a lawsuit seeking $20 billion in damages over alleged bias.
Because CBS’s parent company Paramount wants an acquisition by Skydance to be allowed by the government. It’s extortion (or bribery, depending on your take).
