Elon Musk Threatens to Sue Democrat Who Suggested He’s Responsible for Deaths of 4.5 Million Children
Musk called Khanna a liar and threatened legal action after the Democrat cited a study estimating USAID cuts could cause 4.5 million child deaths.
- On Monday, Elon Musk threatened to sue Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna after the lawmaker accused the SpaceX CEO of 'possibly' sentencing 4.5 million children to death through budget cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development.
- Khanna made the claim during a Saturday appearance on the 'I've Had It' podcast, stating there must be 'accountability for Elon Musk' regarding Department of Government Efficiency cuts that effectively shuttered USAID last year.
- Citing a 2025 Lancet study, Khanna noted that proposed cuts could lead to 14 million preventable deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million children under age five. Musk rejected the claims, calling USAID a 'criminal organization' that needed to 'die'.
- Responding to the legal threat on Monday, Khanna challenged the Tesla CEO to debate impacts on the Global South, stating, 'You're not going to be able to intimidate me,' while calling for investigation into DOGE.
- As Musk labeled the congressman a 'liar,' political observers note that Khanna's willingness to confront the world's first trillionaire positions him as a leading figure should Democrats regain control of the House.
