Elon is promoting lies about USAID to justify DOGE defunding. Here's a masterclass in debunking him.

On the one-year anniversary of his genocidal dismantling of USAID, numerous news stories are documenting the staggering human costs.

The Center for Global Development’s own analysis of the USAID cuts alone found that the decline in current spending may have led to between 500,000 to 1,000,000 lives lost in 2025 compared to previous years. The decline in future spending commitments is projected to lead to 670,000 and 1,600,000 lives lost annually.

Elon and his sycophants are now on a coordinated campaign to justify the dismantling of USAID, claiming among other things, that it was a front for the CIA. Here is a masterful debunking of one of his posts. Follow the thread.

Elon deserves to be tried in the Hague. He will end up as one of the most genocidal oligarch of our era.

There isn’t enough ketamine out there to help him now. Part of him probably wants to get in a rocket and shoot straight into the sun.
