Nothing but massive respect for Elon. He does what is authentic to him. Makes his own decisions based on experience and not advice of others. Cares deeply about humanity above all else. Need more people like him.

Wow you've really drunk the kool aid. Hopefully someday you leave your cult like I did. Elon has literally put a charity I've volunteered thousands of hours of my time helping children with HIV on the brink of disaster with his gutting of USAID. He doesn't care about humanity, only the appearance of it. Only Americans who are generally white with $$$$. At the clinic I volunteered with dozens of mothers missed the window to take medicines to prevent passing HIV to their children who could've had normal lives but now won't, and it's only one of thousands of groups around the world USAID was helping. It would be one thing if he was giving his own billions away to compensate in the meanwhile with a "here's something to keep you going for the next few years but this is the end" so they'd have time to figure out other funding sources but he's not. He's a selfish prat who wouldn't even give to his alma mater without being asked. Seriously fuck that arsehole.

Oh and here's the kicker, the medicine & other preventative supplies were already paid for (by our taxes) & at the port ... But because DOGE recalled the USAID personnel nobody could get at it to distribute it. By the time a new person from the State Department was trained on how to move them & allowed in like over a week later, several things were spoiled, and many women had their babies so too late for those kids who now have HIV through no fault of their own. Conservative estimates have it at, at least 300 kids in his Native ZA (my tertiary country by marriage) alone. Do I feel let down as well as an American (ancestors all the way back to The Anne) with familial ties to ZA and a former OG Tesla stockholder who's husband had model after model of his cars ... Yes. I'll be fine though, at least financially. But these children are stuck with a chronic illness they didn't need to be all because of his anti-empathy crusade. I'd use stronger words, but this ain't Tumblr or Bsky.
