Elon Musk attacked the US Agency for International Development on Sunday, calling it a "criminal organisation" after Donald Trump moved to freeze the bulk of Washington's foreign assistance for three months.
The Trump administration has since issued waivers for food and other humanitarian aid. But aid workers say uncertainty reigns - and that the impact is already being felt by some of the world's most vulnerable.

Trump has tasked Musk with cutting the government workforce and slashing what the Republican calls waste and unnecessary spending under the guise of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is now reportedly taking aim at USAID.

[b]"USAID is a criminal organisation," Musk wrote on his X platform, replying to a video alleging USAID involvement in "rogue CIA work" and "internet censorship".

n a subsequent post, Musk doubled down and, without giving evidence, asked his 215 million X followers, "Did you know that USAID, using YOUR tax dollars, funded bioweapon research, including Covid-19, that killed millions of people?"

He did not elaborate on the allegations, which officials in the previous administration linked to a Russian disinformation campaign.[/quote]

Musk is inciting violence against USAID personnel.  This is the same kind of rhetoric that was used in Stop the Steal until people started chanting "hang Mike Pence".[/quote]

Yeah, you see how much Trump cared about the criminal activity of the Jan 6 protestors who threatened the safety of Mike Pence and Congress.  He pardoned them on Day 1 in office, even though some had murdered and maimed law enforcement officers.[/quote]
