Rep. Ro Khanna challenged Elon Musk to a televised debate after an online exchange in which Khanna said Musk’s cuts under DOGE 'possibly sentenced to death' 4.5 million children by reducing USAID-related aid. Elon Musk responded by threatening to sue Khanna and publicly calling for his arrest. Khanna urged Democrats to investigate Musk if they regain the House, arguing the dispute is about private influence over U.S. foreign-aid decisions and real humanitarian consequences, not just insults.
