Summary
Musk said Monday it may be "time to sue" Rep. Ro Khanna after the California Democrat said DOGE cuts to USAID possibly sentenced 4.5 million children to death.
Khanna made the remarks on a podcast Saturday while urging Democrats to investigate, subpoena and hold Musk accountable if they regain control of the House or Senate.
Musk called the allegation a "total lie," saying DOGE only required contact information to verify aid recipients and citing a 2025 Justice Department case involving a former USAID official's guilty plea.
Khanna responded that he was citing an academic study and accused the world's richest person of using lawfare and intimidation instead of debating the policy impact of the cuts.
