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.
I get confused… is that the famed American free speech that Mr. Vance wants to foist upon us backward Europeans?
If people do get what they deserve, Musk should be very worried.
How very Nazi of him.
America is so weak we’re letting a 4chan edgelord immigrant troll control our lives.
Our enemies couldn’t be happier.
Unelected Kleptomaniac megalomaniac Neo-nazis deserve to swing on a rope.
the president said he who saves his country isn’t guilty of a crime, by the way. :)
Spoken like a true Nazi.
it’s hard to get more nazi than musk
If Musk was born poor he would have been a school shooter.
I believe that.
Isn’t there more gun control in South Africa?
Nah, South Africa is libertarian AF, hence why it sucks so hard.
But how did they got rid of Elon?
They didnt have to get rid of him, he came to plunder the USA cause there is more money here.
…because his daddy already plundered ZA?
I’m not sure I understand the question. Did I miss some kind of official denouncement of him from their government?
Still plenty of illegal guns. Musk totally strikes as the type of guy who would have known some illegal gun dealers and grabbed an AK-47 if he was born to a poor white family down there.

can’t wait until Musk gets Removed
Nothing is going to happen so long as the hopeful Luigis are still communicating with each other on the platforms that the Oligarchs own.
Mario is probably planning something big
Fuck I will take Bowser at this point.
Supposed most powerful billionaire that has the world at his fingertips, can do no wrong and controls everything … can’t take a bit of criticism from a TV show.
This guy’s skin is about as thick and tough as wet tissue paper.
Dictators like President Musk always have the thinnest skin.
I appreciate that this is a figure of speech, but I really think that humanity would be better off if said skin was painstakingly investigated and its thinness verified throughout. For science.
The hole way through.
It’s obvious if you look at how he runs Twitter. There’s actually more censorship now than before this ‘free speech absolutist’ took over.
That’s because they all think “free speech” means “my fringe speech”.
Twitter/X is a “free speech” 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.
These guys are the alpha males right? Trump and Musk are alpha? All I ever see is them complain about people hurting their feelings.
The thing about being an Alpha Male is that if you think you are one, you most definitely aren’t.
When I was younger and in the Rick and Morty fandom it’s something I noted quick, so many losers saying “I’M LITERALLY RICK!11 HE’S SO COOL AND AWESOME AND NON-CONFORMING!111” and they’d fucking idiots with the most basic bitch ass taste imaginable…
I realized it was a rule that “If you think you’re Rick, it means you’re Jerry.”
Have you ever met the soy boy ass-bitches that worship him and tate. Lol they are always edgy weaklings.
I see their “fuck your feelings” bumper stickers and think, man you worship a freak who shatters at the slightest criticism
And if you tell them that, they’ll throw a tantrum.
They wish they could fuck my feelings because that would be the first and only piece of ass they’d land in their lifetime
Alpha… as in, needed more time in development. They’re unfinished.
alpha-wolf isnt really a thing. A wolf pack is usually a family lead by the father.
Read thru the lines, you can see a lot of small dick energy there. Especially musk, what he’s saying about 60min makes me feel he is literally trying to be low resolution copy of Trump. A small sized teen boy is mimicking the senior big bully and scare rest of his class. It’s incredible how Americans make these psychologically undeveloped boys rich and in charge.
Musk is plenty awful for many valid reasons; no need to body shame people for having a small penis.
I meant nothing to do with actual dick size and everything to do with insecurity and want to be seen and etc. what’s the better term for it that’s man friendly?
Just call him what he is - a scared, disgusting little boy who can’t exist comfortably anywhere unless it is literally illegal to criticize him.
Note this well - this isn’t just rhetoric. He truly and sincerely believes that people should go to prison for the “crime” of criticising him.
The US is on the path to gulags and mass graves.
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.
To be fair the Nazis are projected to get around 20% of votes in the election (which will happen next Sunday). And as I see it, it still is unlikely (not impossible though) they would be part of a government. Yeah this is bad, but a long shot from an active fascist coup like in the US.
I got news for you. Trump only got about 35% of eligible voters, and probably 60% of those voters didn’t want him as President, but vote because Republicans are pushing the single issue they care about (pro-life, or anti immigrant…) so we probably only have 10% or so actual bootlicking fascists successfully getting their leather-granddaddy elected. 20% is more than a large enough block to align with them because “the ends justify the means” and “they aren’t that bad” or “the left just calls everyone they don’t like fascists/Nazis” and bam, you’ve got your own Trump in power.
Before you ask yes, the numbers are just pulled out of my ass, but the vibes I get from talking to people in a very politically middle of the road state, they feel in the right ballpark.
Germany doesn’t have a FPTP system, and therefore is not a two-party system like the US. No party can form a government on their own and needs a coalition with at least one or two other parties.
Besides that the Bundesverfassungsgericht (the supreme court equivalent) is not corrupted like in the US and we just had a change to our constitution that is supposed to make it more resilient against being watered down (based on the authoritarian playbook we were able to observe in other countries in the past years, mainly Poland).
I could go on about differences between Germany and the US, but the bottom line is: We might have a problem in Germany, but it is an order of magnitude smaller than in the US, so saying stuff like “Look at Germany where the Nazis are about to be back in power”, is just not something I can let stand.
It would still be a good idea to break up AfD into its constituent atoms. All the European hard-right parties are quislings for Putin and Trump, and without foreign support (and foreign troll farms) they’d be polling around 1%. It’s good to know that there are safeguards, but don’t be so certain that the system will protect you. Things can turn to shit suddenly.
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.
Pretty sure that Britain got on its Brexit bullshit before Trump was elected.
Orbán is throwing a tantrum rn that actually he was the first “Trump before Trump”
Trump was campaigning on the same shit at the same time. Both events are examples of far-right authoritarian tides rising around the world.
According to musk the guy who exposed his employees past racist history committed a crime. It would be funny if he wasn’t basically the president
This is how these people think. If you even dare disagree or ask questions, you deserve the nuclear option.
peoplenarcissistsYeah.
So Musk is cementing himself as the modern Joseph Goebbels now?
Free Speech Absolutists when people disagree with them be like…
“Free speech absolutist”
I watched that piece. Nothing on there was beyond what we’ve been being told for the last few weeks. This is just hushing the criticism to keep it all quiet.
