Reality Show Lies/Paid Ads.
The only way Musk/Chump/Trump can justify their most despicable acts.

The richest SOBs in The World have taken food out of the mouths of the Poorest Kids in the World!
“Christian” Nationalists - you must be very proud!

SHAME!!! ETERNAL SHAME!!!

That has to be bullshit. I am sure SB ad inventory was sold long ago.

That is exactly what he did here in NJ7. We had a viable Dem who was gaining on Kean Jr. and the Rat blew in with attack ads in every medium possible. I don't know for sure that she would have won without that but it was certain she could not win with the smear campaign he unleashed.

jjurek.bsky.social•92 days ago

Bought with whose money? Ours?

kawamamua.bsky.social•92 days ago

Aww f***, I thought maybe they would keep it apolitical, but I guess I’m really not watching it now.

timkrauss.bsky.social•92 days ago

Trump keeps talking about USAID is a corrupt organization and I wish a reporter would say "No, it's not. You must be thinking of Trump University. Or the Trump Organization. Lots of fraud there. Or Trump Foundation, your fake charity that shut down do to rampant fraud. USAID is great"

What’s really gross is that he spends his money trying to do bad things when he could be spending and trying to do good things. They’re just aren’t enough words anymore because just calling him a fucker is not good enough.

That is such a beautiful little film. Too bad a ‘good’ billionaire hasn’t bought ad space to counter the lies & trash that will be seen by millions. But maybe there really are no ‘good’ billionaires.

dougontech.bsky.social•92 days ago

I realize bro has money, but this is serious coin to be throwing around when you are break even at best with Tesla & Twitter.

hobbesjosh.bsky.social•92 days ago

There is already too much disinformation out there. They are pointing to small dollar projects to show that somehow we need to get rid of it. Let's ignore that there might have been a good reason for said projects and at the end of the day, it won't affect the deficit.

scparks50.bsky.social•92 days ago

Of course, with Fox, any ad goes. Maybe the Dems should have placed An ad about what is Going on?

djpgreen.bsky.social•92 days ago

All of the media need to immediately debunk this shit. This kind of gotcha lies spread like wildfire. There must be a former IG for Usaid...

medinnovation.bsky.social•92 days ago

To elon musk we are just ants, he will crush none billionaires. Our lives don't matter to him and his ilk

irish-norgie.bsky.social•92 days ago

USAID May have been instrumental in ending apartheid in South Africa. Hence Elon’s hatred for the organization.

poeia.bsky.social•92 days ago

Is he personally paying for it or is DOGE using money it "saved" from important programs to do it?

amymwb.bsky.social•92 days ago

It’s on FOX. They probably gave him the spots for free. 😏

The propaganda has no limit.
They will do anything to maintain people to believe their lies.
Make lies and truth confused so people don’t know anymore what to believe.
Who would have thought that following the Apple ads of 1984 promising to fight tyranny , promoting tyranny will use the same trick.

johndettling.bsky.social•92 days ago

If Fox did allow a Musk propaganda ad, this is shameful abuse of Fox's broadcast license and outrageous the NFL would not intervene and block it. Musk would be making allegations that have not been been verified or proven by even the Trump admin, members of Congress or any media outlet.

lorikempton.bsky.social•92 days ago

Supposedly, Fox had sold all of their SB spots by November - so either they bumped spots out to accommodate Musk OR the Musk spots are just rumor.

FOX itself doesn't carry an FCC license. The FCC only licenses local broadcast stations, not the networks.

ubuntu4all.bsky.social•92 days ago

I know a person pays mightily for commercials during the game, but what abt doing a pre-game rebuttal spot showing/telling people what the truth is AND what they will see/hear from his ad? Why is this so hard? If you know what the offense is, you have the defense practice against it before the game!

ubuntu4all.bsky.social•92 days ago

Again, the Ds are still in their mode of whining and not getting out in front of these things! What have they done as a party in three weeks to go on the attack? The Lincoln Project has an ad going up. They don’t need to be the only ones!

dwoolvett.bsky.social•92 days ago

I wish Elon Musk would have an unscheduled disassembly!

kindnesstree.bsky.social•92 days ago

Just like the Nazi's!

germanshepherdgirl.bsky.social•92 days ago

Unpopular view from a fan of USAID: This video was not convincing at all. We have parts of rural and urban america that are rundown and resemble this video. Fancy music and vague speeches don't convince anyone. List exactly who the aid benefits and what the investments mean in the real world.

germanshepherdgirl.bsky.social•92 days ago

If this was a commercial during the SB it would flop or draw scorn. Make a commercial describing the connection between peanut paste from Georgia helping malnourished babies, and grain from Kansas helping starving families and keeping enemies at bay. Etc. Connect. Specify. Link.

denvercatlzdy.bsky.social•92 days ago

Elon Musk is weird.

Whose money did he use? His own? Or did taxpayer pay for these ads?

Making USAID great again.

debdavis51.bsky.social•92 days ago

I posted the video to my fb account because unfortunately I have some friends who are trumpers.

cococaren.bsky.social•92 days ago

Now would have been a great time for Dems to buy superbowl ads to explain what is happening

panicatthedogpark.bsky.social•91 days ago

You know, networks can—and have!— refused to air ads for various reasons. If the ad airs it’s because that network chose to take his money and launder his shit. Get ready to take action.

10journey.bsky.social•92 days ago

Why does the government contract with other people, the person purchasing the add may know. Is it more cost effective? More efficient? I don’t know could someone who has billions in government contracts tell us?

jd-persevere.bsky.social•92 days ago

Turn of the TV. Do NOT watch the Stupid Bowl.
Why? 1. abolished inclusion sayings on helmets 2. Fox 3. Elon ad 4. trump and trumpian normalization of rule of law and democracy killing by the current US fascist regime. #RESIST #PowerToThePeople

danylwms.bsky.social•92 days ago

His followers don’t care.

The devastation has been concentrated in the DC area where most federal employees are.
Now when bubba and Johnnie Mae start losing their jobs at the Waffle House and the coal mines and the mammy and pappy’s farms shut down then they will pay attention-and blame Joe Biden.

stwillis.bsky.social•92 days ago

Are US Govt. employees allowed to fund false anti-US Govt. propaganda as a matter of course? Doesn’t that violate an oath or two?

archaeoiain.bsky.social•91 days ago

I understood that the purpose of USAID was to ensure that aid was not given to countries by others with interests the US wants to oppose (no surprises if that includes Ch*na). I'd expect that China, in particular, would really enjoy walking into the vacuum it creates.

moaprn24.bsky.social•92 days ago

Video in three parts for sharing

moaprn24.bsky.social•92 days ago

Screen grabs of the big highlights

msmilack75.bsky.social•92 days ago

better this video should be shown at Super Bowl

msmilack75.bsky.social•92 days ago

I hope when Trump's presence is announced everyone very loudly boos

msmilack75.bsky.social•92 days ago

I hope if it appears, everyone in the audience boos loudly

If you see a USAID propaganda Ad during the Super Bowl pls change the Channel! Musk paid for this to spew disinformation. Pls tell everyone

Betting it will focus heavily on trans-involved grants.

hecate66.bsky.social•92 days ago

Who does the ad appeal to? He’s the president. Who is he trying to convince?

bulldogmom.bsky.social•92 days ago

They are overplaying their hand. Too much in everyone’s faces all the time. They can’t even back off for a few hours and let the country enjoy the game. They have to make even that all about them. Really going to backfire on them.
