Here are some basic questions that the media & Congress could ask:
Can public & private businesses trust Musk with their data?
How many of the officials accessing sensitive data have security clearance?
Do older adults know that Elon Musk now controls payment of their Social Security & Medicare?

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
