Elon Musk, owner of the social media platform X, has had it. The post Elon Musk Threatens Legal Action Against Ro Khanna After Congressman’s Outrageous Lie appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
Trillionaire Elon Musk spent Monday night posting and re-sharing posts online in an apparent effort to defend his record spearheading massive cuts to U.S. foreign aid – which reporting increasingly suggests may end up causing millions of preventable deaths – and was subsequently hammered by critics.“Musk killed millions by abruptly stopping food and medical supply shipments,” wrote Nick Mark, a podcast host and Washington-based physician.“At the time he gleefully celebrated ‘feeding [the U.S. Agency for International Development] (USAID) to the woodchipper’ by waving a chainsaw around high on ketamine. Now he’s in damage control mode. This is his legacy. Don’t let him off the hook.”Over the weekend, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) accused Musk of potentially causing more than 14 million preventable deaths by 2030 due to the U.S. foreign aid cuts he spearheaded while leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk called Khanna a “liar,” said he “should be in prison” and threatened to sue him.Several deaths have already been attributed to the USAID cuts.Through multiple posts Monday, Musk continued to deny that the U.S. foreign aid cuts he spearheaded had caused even a single death.“There is not even a single dead child!” Musk wrote in a social media post on X. “If there were, it would be worldwide headline news!”Musk oversaw around $60 billion in cuts to U.S. foreign aid while working with the Trump administration, leaving “few surviving” USAID projects in his wake. Jeremy Konyndyk, a humanitarian policy expert, was quick to correct the record regarding Musk’s denials.“This is some wild backpedaling bulls--- from Elon,” Konyndyk wrote in a social media post on X. “DOGE clear-cut (more than) 80% of USAID programs without assessing what harms would ensue. And when USAID staff tried to flag those harms, they were forced out.”
Kim Jong Un called for North Korea to boost its nuclear capabilities “with increasing speed” and said the “bloody situation” in the Middle East makes his nuclear push the “most correct and unique way” to defend the country, state media reported.
President Donald Trump's latest threat to sue a media company over its reporting was swiftly mocked by political analysts on Monday. Trump posted on Truth Social that his administration is preparing a lawsuit against ABC News over its reporting on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which has faced significant criticism because of the project's shoddy work and ballooning costs. Initial estimates for the renovation came in at around $2 million, but the final bill was for roughly $16 million, according to reports. Meanwhile, the bottom of the pool has been peeling off, and the algae Trump promised to get rid of has returned in full force."We are preparing lawsuits against ABC for false reporting. I like their money, which will be given to the U.S. Treasury!" Trump wrote in the post. Political analysts bashed Trump's threat on social media. "Discovery should be interesting," Melanie D'Arrigo, executive director of the Campaign for New York Health, posted on X.Arthur Delaney, a reporter at HuffPost, described Trump's threat as "ridiculous" in a post on X. "So he’s threatening to sue ABC News for… *not* publishing something?" Jared Holt, senior researcher at Open Measures, posted on Bluesky. "If you saw this in some random dictatorship somewhere, it would be late-night TV catnip," economist Sky Marchini posted on Bluesky.
Photographs smuggled out from behind tarp-covered scaffolding at the Kennedy Center reveal what President Donald Trump has spent nine days trying to hide.His name is gone.The images, first obtained by activist group Hands Off the Arts and independently verified by The Washington Post, show two rows of blank square panels on the performing arts venue's marble facade, where Trump's name had been affixed since December."This is the picture the Trump administration does not want anyone to see, so it’s all the more important … that people have an opportunity to witness when they’re winning," said Mallory Miller, co-founder of Hands Off the Arts.The name came down in the early morning hours of June 14. A 14-member crew completed the court-ordered removal around 3 a.m., hours past the judicial deadline. Rather than pull back the scaffolding and let the public see the results, the Kennedy Center left tarps and barricades up, with security guards blocking any view of the facade. A spokeswoman said the scaffolding "will remain up as crews address maintenance needs of the marble and soffit panels." The tarp cover was "starting to arouse suspicion," with some questioning whether the name had actually been removed.U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled last month that Trump's board had violated federal law when it voted to rename the venue. Only Congress, which created the Kennedy Center, has the authority to change its name.Lawyers for Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH), whose lawsuit forced the removal, accused Trump's allies on the board of willfully sabotaging the facade in "a petty act of defiance." Trump had railed against the court order on social media, vowing he had "no interest" in continuing what he called a "hopeless journey."
