Elon Musk, the trillionaire CEO and former temporary government employee, threatened to sue Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna after the lawmaker accused Musk of “possibly” sentencing 4.5 million children to death by cutting funding to the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Monday morning, Musk took to his social media platform, X, to lash out at Khanna for suggesting Musk’s deep cuts to USAID’s funding and workforce, while overseeing DOGE last year, may have led to millions of children dying.

“You know they’re celebrating that he created 4,400 millionaires, but they don’t talk about the 4.5 million children around the world who he possibly sentenced to death by dismantling USAID,” Khanna said on the “I’ve Had It” podcast over the weekend.

Musk responded by calling the progressive Democrat a “liar” and “robber” while also accusing him of insider stock trading. “Time to sue this liar,” Musk wrote.

5. Go, Elon, go! Keep the story about DOGE cuts, Big Balls, data theft, and silly "DEI" cuts alive for a couple more years.

If Congress won't investigate and do its job, let's have a public trial along with discovery to expose the truth.

I guarantee there are a lot more shocking stories to tell about the time a billionaire brought in his team of teenage hackers to steal government data and kill programs appropriated by Congress.
