Summary
USAID was investigating Elon Musk’s Starlink over its contracts with Ukraine when Musk moved to dismantle the agency.
The probe aimed to assess Ukraine’s use of Starlink terminals and USAID’s oversight. Musk, who has called USAID “evil,” faces scrutiny as multiple federal agencies question the legality of DOGE’s actions.
Additionally, DOGE is being sued for alleged violations of federal privacy laws.
Musk’s campaign against USAID aligns with anti-“deep state” rhetoric, despite his own extensive government ties.
Oh, so it’s a conflict of interest on his part. Sounds about right.
An unpopular, unelected Nazi billionaire with severe conflicts of interest has been given full control of the US Government, and apparently not one of the other 346 million Americans can do anything about it.
Oh, they can do something about it. It’s another matter entirely that they will because it’s well outside their comfort zones.
Just spoke with my neighbor. Pretty much what he said.
He is also currently in the White House, surrounded by beefed up security, and they expanded the security parameter by 2 city blocks.
That security and those in the white house are part of those millions of Americans, and there’s more than can be done than just targeting him outright. It’s funny that Texas and California have large secessionist movements coming from the GQP, but when the nation is at risk of actual fascism, there’s nothing remotely similar coming from Democrats. There is a world of different options available to those who seek it, I’m just stating this one as an example that the other side has no problem considering.
USAID also helped end apartheid in South Africa.
Now why would the thin-skinned son of a slave-owning white South African emerald mine owner have a problem with that?
Oops all conflicts
I was wondering why he suddenly jumped on USAID. Now we know. I had been thinking the US was going to take longer to shift into a fascist state, but apparently it is already there.
The Supreme Court immunity only extends to the President not his ass lickers.
I thought we were deporting criminals.
Remember, it’s usually not a crime if you get caught doing it and you’re rich
The word you are searching for is oligarchy
Put it in simple terms: kleptocracy
