www.mediaite.com Elon Musk Says ’60 Minutes’ Staffers ‘Deserve a Long Prison Sentence’ — In Response to Show’s Interview With a GOP DOGE Critic

Musk accused the staff of CBS’s 60 Minutes of being the “biggest liars in the world” on Sunday and declared they “ deserve a long prison sentence.”

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 get confused... is that the famed American free speech that Mr. Vance wants to foist upon us backward Europeans?

If people do get what they deserve, Musk should be very worried.

How very Nazi of him.
America is so weak we're letting a 4chan edgelord immigrant troll control our lives.
Our enemies couldn't be happier.

Unelected Kleptomaniac megalomaniac Neo-nazis deserve to swing on a rope.
the president said he who saves his country isn't guilty of a crime, by the way. :)

Spoken like a true Nazi.
- it’s hard to get more nazi than musk

If Musk was born poor he would have been a school shooter.
- I believe that.
- Isn't there more gun control in South Africa?
  
  Nah, South Africa is super capital L Libertarian, hence why it sucks so hard.
  
  Still plenty of illegal guns. Musk totally strikes as the type of guy who would have known some illegal gun dealers and grabbed an AK-47 if he was born to a poor white family down there.

- can't wait until Musk gets Removed
- Nothing is going to happen so long as the hopeful Luigis are still communicating with each other on the platforms that the Oligarchs own.
- Mario is probably planning something big
  
  Fuck I will take Bowser at this point.

Supposed most powerful billionaire that has the world at his fingertips, can do no wrong and controls everything .... can't take a bit of criticism from a TV show.
This guy's skin is about as thick and tough as wet tissue paper.
- Dictators like President Musk always have the thinnest skin.
  
  I appreciate that this is a figure of speech, but I really think that humanity would be better off if said skin was painstakingly investigated and its thinness verified throughout. For science.
- It's obvious if you look at how he runs Twitter. There's actually more censorship now than before this 'free speech absolutist' took over.
  
  That's because they all think "free speech" means "my fringe speech".
  Twitter/X is a "free speech" platform where the swastika is protected, and the Rainbow flag is banned. Every account still on there today sees this as a good thing, or as the cost of messaging on that platform. All of them should be ostracized and dropped until they close their accounts.

These guys are the alpha males right? Trump and Musk are alpha? All I ever see is them complain about people hurting their feelings.
- The thing about being an Alpha Male is that if you think you are one, you most definitely aren't.
  When I was younger and in the Rick and Morty fandom it's something I noted quick, so many losers saying "I'M LITERALLY RICK!11 HE'S SO COOL AND AWESOME AND NON-CONFORMING!111" and they'd fucking idiots with the most basic bitch ass taste imaginable...
  I realized it was a rule that "If you think you're Rick, it means you're Jerry."
- Have you ever met the soy boy ass-bitches that worship him and tate. Lol they are always edgy weaklings.
  
  I see their "fuck your feelings" bumper stickers and think, man you worship a freak who shatters at the slightest criticism
- Alpha... as in, needed more time in development. They're unfinished.
- alpha-wolf isnt really a thing. A wolf pack is usually a family lead by the father.
- Read thru the lines, you can see a lot of small dick energy there. Especially musk, what he’s saying about 60min makes me feel he is literally trying to be low resolution copy of Trump. A small sized teen boy is mimicking the senior big bully and scare rest of his class. It’s incredible how Americans make these psychologically undeveloped boys rich and in charge.
  
  Musk is plenty awful for many valid reasons; no need to body shame people for having a small penis.

Note this well - this isn't just rhetoric. He truly and sincerely believes that people should go to prison for the "crime" of criticising him.
The US is on the path to gulags and mass graves.
- The world understand the USA is having some kind of episode right now . We greatly appreciate it if you could manage to keep it within your borders. Your neighbors would be glad to help rebuild once it's calmed down.
  
  Except this isn't an American thing. The whole world is slowly sliding to fascism. For fucks sake Germany is on route to elect fucking Nazis again. Haven't seen how their elections ended but it wasn't looking good.
- According to musk the guy who exposed his employees past racist history committed a crime. It would be funny if he wasn’t basically the president

This is how these people think. If you even dare disagree or ask questions, you deserve the nuclear option.
- ~~people~~ narcissists
  
  Yeah.

So Musk is cementing himself as the modern Joseph Goebbels now?

Free Speech Absolutists when people disagree with them be like...

"Free speech absolutist"

I watched that piece. Nothing on there was beyond what we've been being told for the last few weeks. This is just hushing the criticism to keep it all quiet.

Further proving billionaires shouldn't exist
- Step 1: Seize all assets above 0.99 billion
  Step 2: No more billionaires
  (Now you got a bunch of money to redistribute)
  
  Personally, I like the idea of taking the richest person in the country, and redistributing half their wealth every year. That way the goal is to be the second richest person, and you basically pit the two richest and most powerful guys on the planet against each other, trying to prove that the other one is richer.
  I'd also like to cap total CEO (or highest earner) compensation at 1000x the pay of the lowest paid person at the company. This would include bonuses and stock options/growth. Any extra amount is confiscated and paid to fund UBI.
  
  No you don't, because their wealth was immediately returned to the people who made it in the form of converting all industries into co-ops!
  
  And people will claim "You can't measure them that way because stocks etc "
  Except you can.
  Take their "worth" on December 31st of year X and their "worth" on Jan 1st of that same year X, subtract December from January, that's their "Income."
  Tax that shit at 100% for anyone in the billions range.
  
  I have a feeling whoever is tasked with that will be some kind of variant of this
  The Yen Buddhists are the richest religious sect in the universe. They hold that the accumulation of money is a great evil and a burden to the soul. They therefore, regardless of personal hazard, see it as their unpleasant duty to acquire as much as possible in order to reduce the risk to innocent people.

Sounds like Putin talk. He wants to Nelvany the 60 Minutes staff

By repeatedly calling for arrests he’s trying to normalise this rhetoric as part of his position.
Keep reminding everyone he’s an unelected civilian with Trump on a very short leash calling for arrests of private citizens. This is never normal and is just as reprehensible the 100th time as the first time.
Keep calling it out.
And keep asking elected officials especially republicans, who seem up for sale to the highest bidder, how much you have to pay to get musk imprisoned with a long prison sentence, because we’re all willing to chip in, and we will even let them seize and keep his assets too if it removes his face and voice from every story on every feed
- Or he's just having a tantrum because he has no self-control and his flunkes are afraid to tell him when he's being a cunt.

Well, he's certainly free to sue them if he has a case and isnt just whining like a child.

I think we need a new word to describe this insane behavior.
- Yeah, this is beyond "weird".
  
  It really is... it's like watching a pair of overgrown toddlers in their terrible two's trying to take over the freaking world.
- We have a word for this, it's Libertarian. Its the cancer at the core of everything wrong in the world today.
  
  By dictionary definition, no. We need a new word.

He deserves a seat in a gas chamber for all the shit he's pulling now
- He deserves to work a job based on his skill and merit, and not the starter fortune he inherited. He might make it to department manager at a best buy.

Can we deport him yet?
- You might want to rephrase that last sentence. Lemmy.world rules don't like green plumbers.
  
  Chuck Mangione obviously. Blast his ears full of trumpet music.
  
  We could always, but who is we?
- You can't really deport billionaires, they are nations unto themselves.
- His boss holds the keys to that boat.

What happened to freedom of speech Elon?
- He's an absolutist. Unfortunately, he means absolutely not.

Guillotines
- Drones

Spoken like a little man with a tiny mustache.

Fragility thy name is Elon

Freeze, Peach! I balloon tits or something.

He is just projecting. Guess who would deserve long prison sentences for insurrection?

Freedom of press wasn't good for rating. We need authoritarian comments to get Americans to pay attention for 5 seconds. After those ratings drop will have to start wars just to maintain ratings

You can't spell lonely without Elon. What an absolute fucking tool.

Afrikaans Himler pipes up. News at '11.

Something something "back to his shithole country" (nothing against South Africa as a whole, but Trump said something to the effect that all of Africa was "shithole countries")

What a disgrace.

These traitor cunts need to be dealt with.

Just a random note:
The word doge, in Italian, is very similar to Duce.
Duce means leader and was a sort of nickname for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benito_Mussolini
Doge, means ruler. As in overlord.
- Duce was lynched when the Italians had enough of him.
  Corpse hung up in Milan for the all public to come and see.
  
  Was it a Musk or Trump guy (effigy) they hung up from the same lamppost recently?
  
  "See"
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_of_Venice
- Man, we really are living in a simulation

Why? Because FREEZED PEACH?
I thought fElon and his dumbass bootlickers were all about the freezed peach maximalism?
- Free Speech™ is when you can spout racist and ignorant comments without repurcussion at the top of your lungs, literally or metaphorically online.
  Disagreeing with Elon though, that isn't Free Speech™, that's treachery and evil and small minded bigotry.

Projection!
