Not even the entire woke MSM could stop him. Not all woke Hollywood could stop him. The Entire woke Establishment failed to stop him. All the bent polls trying to make it look like he was losing, they couldn't stop him. He got the clean sweep. It's great news, it shows we no longer believe the Media, no longer trust Celebs. It's great. And now, the US IT industry will benefit from rightwing economics, again. I'm European, and I wish he would tear up the EU Dictatorship, too, which has failed to nurture an I

Well, TBD, it turns out the entire woke movement and ideology was funded by usaid. So he's essentially refunded the lot by removing corruption and graft from the US govt.
Corruption and graft that doesn't directly benefit Israel, of course. That's still going nowhere. They are USA's greatest ally, after all. USS Liberty not withstanding. But still...

The real reason Musk wants to shut down USAid is because USAid gave his Starlink millions in support and contracts in regards of the Ukraine war. But then Musk randomly shut down Starlink in Ukraine and other issues with the funds given to them for this, USAid wanted to do an audit to see where the money went and was being used.
Now, suddenly instead of allowing that, Musk wants to them to be shut down. I wonder why he'd want to shut them instead of allowing an audit of how he used their money?

And who the hell are they to decide who gets audited and who doesn't? If they feel they've been wronged, they should sue for breach of contract, like, you know, everyone else.
Is charity subject to contract law? If I give the bum at the off-ramp a dollar today but drive right by tomorrow, will he take me to court?
Teach a man to fish and he'll have to get up early every morning to feed himself. Give a man a fish and you'll owe him one every day.

Funny you are reaching to defend only because itâ(TM)s âoeyour sideâ - if any org gave a company money to buy something, and they shut down the program - youâ(TM)d want to know how the money was spent.
I guarantee you that a part of the contract to take USAID money was not hat they could audit you.
And they did because Starlink did something suspicious.
And now he has the power of the deep state, he did what you accuse the left of doing, using his state control to support his personal busin

●- The firing of Viktor Shokin,Ukraine's corrupt prosecutor General was the culmination of a years-long effort by a bipartisan international coalition to address and root out corruption in Ukraine.
● - The removal of Shokin, who slow-walked efforts to fight corruption, only increased the likelihood that Burisma and its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, would be investigated.
● - The false claim that Vice President Biden called for Shokin's firing to help his son was created and perpetuated by Rudy Giuliani.
Every accusation is a confession.

Government agencies don't sue, they audit. USaid is not a for profit commercial private entity.

Flat wrong. You probably don't care, but no.
