Elon Musk speaks during an event in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump at the White House, Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025, in Washington.

Elon Musk, President Donald Trump’s billionaire ally, on Sunday repeatedly attacked CBS’s 60 Minutes, suggesting the team behind the news program deserves a “long prison sentence” for what he described as their efforts to interfere in the 2024 presidential election.

Musk appeared to take issue with a report from Sunday’s episode focused on what the Trump administration’s moves at the US Agency for International Development could mean for the future of other government agencies.

USAID has been one of Musk’s biggest targets as the head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.

60 Minutes posted a graphic on its account on X, formerly called Twitter, featuring a quote by former USAID administrator Andrew Natsios, a Republican, refuting the Trump administration’s claims that the agency needs to be reformed to cut out massive fraud.

“The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID,” Natsios said.
