Bill Gates accuses Elon Musk of ‘killing’ children with USAID cuts https://www.ft.com/content/bdd9bb89-ac3c-4043-9ca4-bc7efbd41fed - ThreadSky

It’s a fact. And the GOP co-signed Musk’s killing spree.

Remember when everyone told us to abandon the incumbent advantage?

So that the greedy could continue to devour us?

I do.

Gates is correct.
It’s unconscionable that Musk/DOGE took food and medicine from the world’s most vulnerable people.
And destroyed America’s reputation simultaneously.
Self centered and greedy people have hijacked our government.

The painful truth is that Musk and the DOGE tech bros look at the world and see a need for fewer people with AI and other tech.

They just don't care that millions (or billions) die. It's useful for them.

They want to build their little tech states and rule over those they deem worthy of life.

Tragically, you are likely right.

Musk abruptly halts programs that save children's lives, children then die - and FT puts 'killing' in quotes?

Bill Gates used USAID as a taxpayer supported mechanism to force adoption of his biotech agricultural colonialism in Africa. That’s his real beef with Musk. Starving children have nothing to do with it.

reply

handspun.bsky.social•23 days ago

Thought experiment:
Take the quotes out and see how it hits differently.
And that is why they put in their cowardly quotation marks.

reply

colinwoodard.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yes, but by putting it quotes it suggests this is just his assertion, when there's actually no doubt about it.

That's... not what quotes mean.

Bill Gates accuses Musk of killing "children".

Bill "Gates" accuses Musk of killing children.

Bill Gates accuses Musk of "killing" children.

Bill Gates accuses Musk of killing children.

Those aren't the same headlines.

reply

timang.us•23 days ago

The first and third are accurate quotes, the second is not, the last is a statement of fact. Quotes are not meant as a means of emphasis, if that is what you're implying, and if that is what you understand the headline to mean, you're interpreting it wrong.

I worked for newspapers and in newsrooms for like 30 years. It is indeed what they convey, at least on this side of the Atlantic.

That is shocking then, because all quotation marks mean is that the person literally said exactly those words. It implies no judgement about their accuracy.

If they’ve had a feud, that doesn’t make the impact of what Musk has done less deadly & pointing it out may have nothing to do with any feud but may in fact be someone using their influence to get the press to notice that *people are dying*.

Americans don't realize the significance of USAID in peace-making, peace-keeping and peace-building.

I've seen firsthand how USAID helped remove leverage of combatants to keep peace in conflict-zones.
