Former congresswoman Liz Cheney took a jab at billionaire political adviser Elon Musk after he amplified a post on X that correlated Cheney’s disdain for President Donald Trump to her time working in the U.S. Agency for International Development.
USAID – a humanitarian group distributing foreign aid – has become a target of Musk in his efforts to shrink the federal budget at the behest of Trump.
Musk reposted a claim that Cheney was “spawned out of USAID” and later co-lead the second impeachment against Trump for the January 6 attack on the Capitol as well as the “mass imprisonment campaign” against rioters.
“Interesting,” Musk wrote on Tuesday.
One day later, Cheney responded, “Damn right, Elon.” Affirming her involvement with the agency that has been subject to attacks from Musk and other Trump-aligned Republicans.
