Elon Musk is the richest man in the world. He could be a philanthropist, end world hunger. He could donate to hospitals, fund cancer research, build schools, start scholarships. Instead he delights in firing people and denying food to starving kids.

This is exactly the problem. You can’t take the “move fast and break things” mentality of Silicon Valley into the federal government, a place where if you break things, people die, or have their rights violated, or can’t access essential services. https://t.co/H3eTiEU1R2

The heartbreak

Trump wants us to believe that USAID is bankrupting America—when in reality, it’s less than 1% of the federal budget.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. This is a man who could end world hunger… pic.twitter.com/5h8tRu5uw0

Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Trump and Elon Musk have wiped out the national database of police misconduct. Nearly 150,000 records of misconduct by federal officers erased, like it never happened. Why would Trump get rid of the database he created? Because Trump will drastically scale back police accountability to appease right-wing TV and X commentators.

“Efficiency” for billionaires just means “less money for the poor”. They making their businesses more “efficient” by cutting salaries.

They will make social security more “efficient” by paying out less. They will make medicare more “efficient” by covering less. It never ends.
