The sooner someone Luigi's him the better, if only for the fact we would never have to hear the fucker speak again.
Nazis gonna Nazi
Is there a Lemmy fednews? I've been lurking on reddit solely for this news, but noticed a distinct change in tone in the past few days, and I think they may be drowning in muskrats before too long.
For who people would like to see as an all powerful, intelligent and genius billionaire ... he sure has a thin skin
For anyone that didn't notice ... this is the power of journalists and why we should defend them, help them and support them.
Do I quote the "free speech" or the "absolutist" when talking about this "man"?
So uncovering the disgusting cruelty of others is in itself Disgusting and Cruel? That's just what a tyrant would say.
He really has gone from a wannabe Tony Stark to a wannabe Homelander hasn't he?
He's learned to whine just like Trump. What a skidmark.

He may have a fault or two but his work in USAID has been uncovering some serious corruption. If you refuse to acknowledge that then i don't know what to tell you.
Can you give some examples? Genuinely curious
Well, if you want to take it from the horses mouth , its supporting DEI and LGBTQ+ rights internationally. Which sounds less like "corruption" and more like "the point", but what do I know?
And to save everyone a click, here is the link I posted's full list of "corruption" :
Here are only a few examples of the WASTE and ABUSE:
- $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”
- $70,000 for production of a “DEI musical” in Ireland
- $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam
- $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia
- $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru
- $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala
- $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt
- Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations — even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation
- Millions to EcoHealth Alliance — which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab
- “Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria”
- Funding to print “personalized” contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries
- Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban
The list literally goes on and on — and it has all been happening for decades.
Under President Trump, the waste, fraud, and abuse ENDS NOW.
edit: they say the list goes "on and on", but I couldn't find anything. Presumably stuff not added to the aforementioned post were even less convincing, and as such didn't make the cut.
So this is decades long waste and fraud, but a significantly higher amount of money for handouts for the ultra-rich authorized by Trump, including money piped directly to his family, is fine?
From the PPP program:
More than half of the roughly $525 billion in [PPP] loans doled out through November went to just 5% of the more than 5 million recipients
It's crazy right? I guess they hope that blaming the "DEI Boogyman" enough will draw attention away from their actual comic book evil levels of corruption.
this is just one example:
Source without an actual source.
Assuming it's all true. No shit money goes to organizations that provide aid. And the amounts that are being spent are almost nothing. For example in my job $100 million contracts are common for single locations.
The whole situation is literally the rich guy pointing at a poorer person and telling you to be mad they got pennies while the rich guy is shoveling billions into their tax breaks.
While USAID definitely funds/funded many ridiculous things (such as this) they also provide much-needed food and medicine to a lot of people - for cynical politically-motivated soft-power reasons, but still. It seems very likely that abruptly cutting off those programs will cause some people to die. I really hope someone (the PRC seems likely) will step in and replace some of those programs!
I think Trump supporters have a different definition of corruption than normal people.
Get fucked Elon, you absolute piece of shit
you going to have to do better than that
Dude thinks that "truth hurts" gives him the right to get rid of someone for hurting him with truth.
Leon hitler would like the USA to turn into Russia, China and the former Apartheid South Africa. Fuck him and the MAGAts.
Mald harder, Elon. We will not be ruled by your little band of incels.
Fuck that small dick muskRat forever. My taint awaits his tongue.
Only if we are allowed to fire everybody who is disgusting and cruel.
Oh my, this is how you destroy and erode democracy ever faster. Dismantle the media and stop any criticism of the leaders, and reporting of true events.
I saw this in a country once who’s name is North Korea.
India also
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
It's soon illegal to not be racistin america.
Off topic, but Racistin is a cool name for a dnd character.
It's a medication for racists
They can be from Racistan, a "planet of hats" country with one very ugly defining feature.
A red armband?
He's an elf who hates his half-elf siblings.
I like the idea of a half elf that's racist against his own human half. A half-elf elf supremacist.
Free speech for Musk means Musk gets to decide what people are allowed to say.
Funny, I thought HE was disgusting and cruel, but the rest of us can’t bully people using money and illegal threats.
Hopefully the outcome of the French investigation will be an international arrest warrant.
