It would be covered by the Media like the biggest story in history,\u201d one Musk fan wrote Monday on X.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span>Exactly,\u201d Musk wrote in a quote tweet Tuesday, endorsing the message.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The trillionaire oligarch even insisted that USAID is the one that\u2019s killed people, retweeting a conspiracy theory from Rand Paul that Anthony Fauci was to blame for the covid-19 pandemic because federal funds were being used to conduct gain of function research.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>\u201cUSAID money killed millions,\u201d Musk wrote Tuesday.. Admittedly, U.S. intelligence agencies now endorse the idea that covid-19 escaped from a lab, but that only happened after President Trump took office for a second time. Before Trump took control, intel agencies were largely skeptical of the idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Musk\u2019s so-called Department of Government Efficiency took a chainsaw to the federal government last year, with the Tesla CEO bragging on Feb. 3, 2025 that, \u201cWe spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper.\u201d And researchers have been tallying the death toll ever since.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s particularly interesting that Musk keeps saying that his role in dismantling USAID would be huge news if someone actually died. Because we have so many news stories about those deaths.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Children die after USAID funding cuts end lifeline for displaced communities fleeing violence<\/strong> \u2013 PBS Newshour (May 16, 2025)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Doge cuts to USAid blamed for 300,000 deaths \u2014 most of them children<\/strong> \u2013 The Times (May 30, 2025)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trump\u2019s Most Lethal Policy<\/strong> \u2013 New York Times (Sept. 20, 2025)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trump\u2019s USAID pause stranded lifesaving drugs.

These stories typically explain how people have already died, but the big takeaway from all of them is that these cuts will be felt for generations.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=545\">Softbank CEO Shoots Down Musk\u2019s Plan for Orbital Data Centers as SpaceX Stock Falls Back to Earth<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also the online tracker started by researcher at Boston University, which estimated more than 750,000 people have died from the cuts. And many studies that explain how the death toll will be in the millions by the end of this decade.<\/p>\n<p>Children are starving and people around the world are going without medical care that was being provided by USAID. People are dying as result of Musk\u2019s action. And to deny this fact is to deny reality.<\/p>\n<p>USAID didn\u2019t just provide aid, it was monitoring issues on the ground like child health and mortality, maternal issues, and reproductive health statistics, as the New York Times explained in Feb. 2025, at the start of USAID\u2019s destruction. Now that USAID has been fed \u201cinto the wood chipper,\u201d it\u2019s become harder to even get an accurate picture of how many people are dying.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The entire situation has echoes of what President Trump said during the early days of covid-19. If you don\u2019t test for the disease, you can pretend like it\u2019s not there. And Musk will likely rely on that strategy in the years ahead to deny his role in the deaths of millions of people.<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>his excuse is they wouldn\u2019t put the starving children on the phone with him.<\/p>\n<p>[image or embed]<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Razzball (@razzball.bsky.social) June 23, 2026 at 10:59 AM<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>Rep.
