Elon Musk challenged critics to name anyone who has died as a result of the funding cuts he led at the US Agency for International Development last year.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nicholas Kristof then listed the names of numerous people in West Africa who died after losing access to health care from USAID, including multiple children. 

In response, Musk threw a tantrum, calling Kristof “utterly evil” and a “piece of shit and liar.” He also called another researcher “a piece of shit who loves murder” after they named a Sudanese child who died after losing access to USAID-funded HIV medication.
