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.

    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.

          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.
