Elon Musk Urges Alarming Action Against CBS's '60 Minutes'

"60 Minutes are the biggest liars in the world!" the world's richest man wrote on his social media platform, X.

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.

…

The president himself has previously calledfor the news program to be “immediately terminated.”

Still, Paramount, the parent company of CBS, has reportedly been mulling reaching a settlement agreement with Trump in the $10 billion lawsuit he brought against the network last year, accusing “60 Minutes” of deceptively editing its interview with Harris. But the Wall Street Journal on Friday reported some executives have raised concerns that settling the lawsuit could expose them to legal threats.

      We’re well past the jail stage.
      Jail is what should have happened when we still had something resembling the rule of law.
      We’re in a position now that Trump and Musk will never see justice unless it’s served directly by the people.

    People warned the media that they would not be welcome in the new regime if they won. But they just blew off the concerns of the people and sane washed everything they did. They still bent the knee after they won and they are still being punished. Why did they believe the scorpion?

    Wow, the authors of that article bury the lede… Trump sued Paramount because of what Paramount did covering Harris which actually means Trump doesn’t really have any case, but they might want to pay off Trump because it’s a convenient way to legally bribe him… That’s the real story, that’s what needs to be said, along with any other analysis they feel is needed.
