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.

      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.
