Elon Musk issues br.tal five-word response after Bill Gates claimed he was ‘ki.ing’ children
Elon Musk has clashed with Bill Gates after the Microsoft co-founder claimed government budget cuts would lead to millions of preventable deaths. During a CBS interview, Gates warned that efficiency measures by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) could reverse progress on global vaccinations, potentially causing two million additional child deaths annually. Musk fired back on X, calling Gates a “huge liar” and reposting a podcast clip linking Gates to Jeffrey Epstein. Gates has previously admitted it was “stupid” to associate with Epstein but denied any involvement in his crimes.
Meanwhile, Musk faces personal controversy as right-wing influencer Ashley St. Clair claims she secretly bore his 13th child. Leaked NSFW messages suggest a flirtatious past between them, though Musk has avoided directly addressing the paternity claim. The allegations emerge as Musk steps back from his DOGE advisory role, having implemented federal spending cuts through contract cancellations and layoffs. Both disputes highlight Musk’s combative public persona amid professional and personal scrutiny.
