There is no end to the carnage that Elon Musk has unleashed with his DOGE destruction.

It was intentional, as well. This isn't by accident. Elon and Trump are criminally responsible.

Elon Musk and an ignorant and ineffective president have much to answer for. Thank you Jeremy Konyndyk for your continuing good work.

DOGE cuts have been a domestic as well as international destruction to guardrails to manage pandemics and global healthcare in general. Of course, Musk lives in his own bubble with no regard for life on Earth or the welfare of his fellow humans. Out of the mouth of his young son in the Oval Office we heard him say the quiet part outloud:. Musk's dreams of going to Mars is to "do whatever they want" Musk has demonstrated his disdain for life and the human community on Earth 🌎 I think Musk has earned a one-way ticket to Mars. Prosecute Musk for his crimes or send him to a new home on Mars forever.

Elon Musk treated global disease surveillance like an unwanted subscription and clicked “cancel,” while Trump’s administration congratulated itself for saving money. Now Ebola is spreading through a war zone without the people, supplies, or relationships built to contain it. This is what government efficiency looks like when measured by spreadsheets instead of coffins. The virus does not care about DOGE memes, ideological tantrums, or billionaire certainty. It only cares whether anyone competent is still answering the phone.

They hardly even saved any actual money. And the small amount of spending they cancelled will cost us far more, financially, economically, morally, and more. The actual costs of DOGE’s idiotic and slapdash rampage through our government will haunt us for decades to come.

Trump, Musk and any other killers of USAID should be held on murder charges.

This is genocide .

Because these white supremacists care not one bit about these people( largely people of color) .

Why would anyone set so many people up to die these awful deaths?

People that have more than enough money to live and should they have a desire to , could , in fact , save the world.

Instead they get involved in destroying people with meager means. As a group. This hateful mindset has killed millions of men, women and children .

And they do not care one iota.

They haven’t an ounce of compassion for anyone but themselves. The money didn’t come from their own deep pockets. Therefore this decision was remorseless murder.

Will any of these heartless inhumane individuals ever be held accountable ?

What do you think ? They have allowed money to be their god. And everyone will pay the price.

Accountability has to come for this sociopathic, ketamine addled prick who has made himself a trillionaire by being subsidized by US taxpayer dollars through crony inspired government contracts from Pres Shit4Brains and his totally useless spawn.

This goes right along with musk & trump virulent white supremacy. However, they also don't care about anyone but themselves. I have said from the beginning of trumps second term, he plans to kill as many of us as he can. He did it during COVID, he is doing it again.

Fascist Demented Traitors Trump and Musk are Disasters for America and the World!

Well, we start out with slavery (mass murder) then Native American genocide, wars from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and now Iran with cameos of Somalia, Libya and Lebanon. The there is Gaza and the West Bank. Non violent mass killings include Doge et.al.

This is who we are despite the gaslighting

Well-written description of how Musk and Trump’s racist and politicized budget cuts are coming home to roost, but mostly for the health professionals and people in Africa, but not for them. It is no wonder that the US is becoming more and more despised and hated around the globe.

Remember to also blame the idiots who voted for Trump, knowing full well what they were buyiing.

Trumpy and Elongated Muskrat have oceans of blood on their hands. Nazis always do.

It does not matter how much wealth Ellen Musk has he is an impoverished soul. He will turn into trump more and more as the yeas go by. His mean spiritedness, bitterness, socially inept personality, make him all the more repugnant. The richest person in the world takes food and drugs from the poorest children on earth. All his lousy products, and Twitter should be boycotted. He is a non-entity and a perfect example of great wealth causes mental illness.

Time To Ignore Political Ad Propaganda: Just Google For Candidate Information

In 1971 fascist Nixon took the country off the gold standard ushering in a new era of wealth expansion enjoyed by the business interests of the wealthy people who run corporations. In a way taking the country off the gold standard was the beginning of deregulaton. Without it the economy could be freewheeling without governmental restraint. This set the stage for Reagan’s attack on government itself.

Now the country faces a new issue. Can elections be purchased due to extreme wealth disparity. Voters in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court said no to Elon Musk when voters chose to ignore his $20m he put into his late campaign donation. He’s now up to possibly being indicted by the Wisconsin AG for attempted interference by bribing donors didn’t work out.

All the political ad buying is material taken out of context meant to deceive, outright false, or a combination of both. WE the People shouldn't bother with the propaganda that has filtered into our ecosystems. Time to ignore it all and get your information directly through the internet and Google.

Will Abdul El-Sayed’s message resonate with Michigan voters while AIPAC seeds Haley Stevens $30M in campaign financing? Politicians are bought off and Michiganders have a moral decision to make.
