Ro Khanna Urges Probe of Musk Over Alleged 4.5 Million Child Deaths

Summary
Ro Khanna said Elon Musk should be subpoenaed and investigated if Democrats regain Congress, accusing him of helping cause 4.5 million child deaths by dismantling USAID through DOGE spending cuts.
Khanna made the remarks on the "I've Had It" podcast, arguing there must be accountability for what Musk did with the Department of Government Efficiency rather than simply moving on.
The attack adds to renewed Democratic criticism of Musk after SpaceX's IPO earlier this month pushed him past trillionaire status and revived focus on his political influence and cost-cutting role.
Khanna has also backed a "Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act" that would impose a 5% annual tax on assets above $1 billion, directly targeting fortunes like Musk's.
