Elon Musk's Enemy, USAID, Was Investigating Starlink's Contracts in Ukraine
gizmodo.com
The agency was in the midst of a probe into the billionaire's equipment at the time of Musk's assault.

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.

    Even if the US presidency goes to a progressive Democrat in 4 years, it will take decades of concerted effort to undo the damage that Trump and his merry band of assholes has done to the US and the world.

    The normal that we all knew has been stomped into dust, and won’t be back in most of our lifetimes.

    The longer the Trump/MAGA shitshow goes on unchecked, the more time and effort it will take to repair the damage.
