Elon Musk Criticizes CBS’s 60 Minutes, Calls for ‘Major House-Cleaning’

Elon Musk took to X on Tuesday to criticize CBS's '60 Minutes,' suggesting the iconic news program needs a 'major house-cleaning.' The remark, directed at user @mazemoore, continues Musk's pattern of challenging traditional media outlets, which he often accuses of bias or lack of transparency. Since acquiring Twitter (now X), Musk has positioned the platform as a 'digital town square,' frequently using it to question media narratives.

While Musk did not specify the exact reasons for his critique, the comment arrives amid broader skepticism toward legacy media. '60 Minutes,' known for its investigative journalism, has faced scrutiny in the past over editorial decisions, but Musk's amplification of such criticism could influence public perception, especially among his large following. The remark adds to ongoing tensions between Musk and media institutions, following his past disputes with outlets like The New York Times and Reuters.
