Early in my career, USAID was a client of mine. Took me all over the world. Met so many amazing humans across every imaginable culture, all working towards a better future. Its sad to see it dismantled like this. Strategically, it leaves a hole in American soft power and diplomacy abroad in areas we see fast increasing Chinese influence. I trust Elon/DOGE will figure that out and reinstate in a cost effective manner, the most essential programs that help anchor U.S. leadership abroad. https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/02/politics/usaid-officials-leave-musk-doge/index.html

I wouldn’t hold my breath. Musk tweeted about his admiration for American jingoism, which is not typically amenable to soft power https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1886870474988069056

How long do you think it will take them to figure it out?

I once worked as a contractor for one of their projects in Russia. Was a translator for a cattle feeding consultant from the US helping farmers in Siberia. I highly doubt he was spying for the plans of Siberian villages or the contents of cow manure.

Not only did they suspend all our projects, they also left Q4 invoices unpaid. Rogue state. The World will not forget.

Genuinely curious. What about Elon’s career makes people think he’s a “cost effective” expert?
