"Instead, he wrote, it looks like it was a 60 Minutes story a few days earlier about USAID being defunded a story that expressly commented on Musk's role in ending the funding that supporters have credited with saving millions of lives and maintaining American soft power around the world world. It was Musk who called USAID employees worms, said host Scott Pelley in the clip below. In a post, he gloated about feeding the agency into the wood chipper."
"The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest families. Musk spent nearly $250 million to get Trump and other Republicans elected. Shortly after the show posted a link to the story, Musk tweeted, '60 Minutes are the biggest liars in the world! They engaged in deliberate deception to interfere with the last election. They deserve a long prison sentence.'"
60 Minutes has not posted on X since February 19, despite airing a timely interview with Utah Gov. Spencer Cox. The show's official account last shared clips featuring Bob Dylan, Timothée Chalamet, and a drama teacher on that date. The posting pause followed a 60 Minutes story about USAID being defunded that highlighted Elon Musk's role in ending the funding. The segment reported Musk called USAID employees "worms" and celebrated cutting the agency. Musk had spent nearly $250 million to support Trump and other Republicans and publicly attacked 60 Minutes on X, calling the show liars and urging prison sentences.
