On being questioned about billionaire Bill Gates' criticism of DOGE's budget cuts to USAID, world's richest man Elon Musk called Gates a "huge liar". "Who does Bill Gates think he is...given that he was very close to Jeffrey Epstein?...I wouldn't want that guy to babysit my kid," Musk said. Gates had said that Musk was "killing" the world's poorest children.
