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 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.
