There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.
Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

US academics, fearing persecution by their own government, are becoming ideological refugees.
Europe, and Britain, must offer them sanctuary.

Where are the American patriots during this Musk takeover?
We’re just going to let Apartheid Clyde give Nazi salutes and take over our economy with his tech bro incels? 🤷🏻♀️
Elon Musk is performing a coup on the U.S. Government. In the midst of (and smokescreened by) the current "pillaging of Rome" enacted by the rest of the MAGA movement, following their first attempted coup on January 6th.
