Elon Musk threatens to sue Ro Khanna over claims USAID cuts sentenced children to death

Musk responded to the story in an X post on Monday, where he wrote, "Time to sue this liar."

Musk also wrote and reposted several comments attacking Khanna and his premise that cuts to USAID led to the deaths of millions of children.

"Absolutely. This is a total lie. All DOGE did was require contact with the aid recipients to confirm that funds were being used legitimately. Anything less than this is insane! Multiple people from USAID have been charged by the Justice Department with stealing money. Moreover, they pled GUILTY!!" Musk wrote, linking to a 2025 Justice Department press release on a former USAID official's guilty plea.

In another post, he wrote, "The standard applied by DOGE was very simple and easy: Provide contact information for the recipients of aid, so that we can confirm it is not fraudulent. The reality is that money was being sent to corrupt politicians under the guise of aid! Liars and stock insider traders like Ro the Robber should be in prison!!"

He also repeatedly referred to Khanna as a "robber," accusing him of questionable stock trading practices.

He continued, "You know, Elon, I thought you were a free speech guy. Why not debate me on these issues instead of threatening lawfare? You're not going to be able to intimidate me. I'm the guy who stood up to the Epstein class and worked with [Rep. Thomas] Massie to get the Epstein files released. I'm the guy who stood up against AIPAC and called out a genocide. And I'm the guy who stood up to billionaires in my district who ran someone against me and still called for a wealth tax. So I'm not going to be intimidated or silenced."
