Musk Threatens Khanna

Elon Musk threatened to sue Rep. Ro Khanna after the California Democrat said Musk should be investigated over cuts tied to the Department of Government Efficiency and USAID, arguing that 4.5 million children worldwide were “possibly sentenced to death.” Khanna made the remarks on the “I’ve Had It” podcast, calling for Democrats to hold Musk accountable if they regain control of Congress. Musk responded on X by calling Khanna a liar and saying it was “time to sue,” escalating a fight over foreign aid cuts, Musk’s role in DOGE, and Democratic scrutiny of his wealth and influence. The dispute drew sharply partisan reactions, with conservative outlets framing Khanna’s claim as false or outrageous and progressive outlets emphasizing the humanitarian consequences of aid reductions.
