Elon Musk Teases '69 Minutes' And Offers To Pay For It On X After Trump Blasts '60 Minutes' Over Kamala Harris Interview CORRECTED

Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to correct a typographical error in the headline.

Elon Musk teased a show and said he’d personally fund it, just as President Donald Trump renewed his attacks on Paramount Global-owned (NASDAQ:PARA) (NASDAQ:PARAA) CBS's long-running news program "60 Minutes," accusing it of deceiving the public.

What Happened: On Thursday, Musk took to X, formerly Twitter, to propose a new show that references the number 69, which is often associated with sexual innuendo.

“Anyone want to create a hard-hitting show on X called 69 Minutes? I will actually fund it!” Musk wrote.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO's post comes after CBS' 60 Minutes released the full transcripts of its October interview with Kamala Harris on Wednesday. The network stated that this proves the broadcast was not altered or misleading.

Trump had claimed otherwise in a $10 billion lawsuit filed in November. Reports suggest settlement talks are ongoing.

On Thursday, Trump, on his Truth Social platform, accused CBS of “defrauding the public by doing something which has never, to this extent, been seen before.”
