Elon Musk acknowledged that the U.S. DOGE Service “accidentally canceled” efforts by the U.S. Agency for International Development to prevent the spread of Ebola — but the billionaire entrepreneur insisted that the initiative was quickly restored.

this was a flop. A bunch of liars lead by a moron and a guy incompetent on the constitution. Just a great big flop. Musk is admitting that we can be wrong sometimes--I sure Trump wanted to cripple him with that admission of weakness. Musk K hole seemed dimmed today.
This is some more BS that WaPo should take partial credit for. You guys busted your asses to get this administration elected. You've inherited the wind.
But I’m sure he’ll keep some of us around to mow his lawns or pick the crops he needs for food. And of course he’ll have a stable of baby mamas on his quest to repopulate the country with his genes.
Elon is a megalomaniac billionaire with no clue what he’s doing.
Jeff Bezos has destroyed The Washington Post with his fascist policies. A long way from Woodward and Bernstein.
Boycott Bezos and Musk
No Amazon, no Wapostc no more you cowardly pos 💩
How many other boo-boos has musk and the whole Trump administration Made that we do not know about? They are burning down the house around them-selves and the rest of us. 😡🤢🤮 We need new emojis.
Ooopsie I guess? About the same ooopsie level as the one regarding the layoffs of people monitoring nuclear arsenal...and this is making America "safer"? "Greater"?
Fire nuclear stockpile workers. Fire Ebola prevention workers. First measles death in 15 years. Fire FAA workers causing planes to crash. Egg prices went up 53% and expected to go up another 40% this year. But we get more foreign Oligarchs to run the country by buying $5 million gold cards.
Reporter: Is it also your policy that as long as your president, China will never take Taiwan by force?
Trump refuses to answer: “I never comment on that. I don't comment because I don't ever want to put myself in that position…I have a great relationship with President Xi…”
Musk is the ultimate loose canon in any group and Trump lets them do whatever he wants cause Trump is the second ultimate loose canon in any group both are losers like the Republicans who let them do whatever they want. They simply don’t have spines.
Grande nouvelle ! La nouvelle Axe du Mal fait un road trip de luxe : départ des USA, pause café en Hongrie, selfie en Russie, thé en Iran, shopping en Chine et feu d’artifice en Corée du Nord. Qui s’inscrit ? #TourDuMondeVersionDictature
Unbelievable that this man is allowed to ravage our country. I did not vote for him nor did I vote for the Trump agenda that is destroying our country. I am truly embarrassed to be an American especially since we have shunned our Allies to side to Russia. Absolutely disgusting.
All that conference was a Circus
Trump lying like never before!!
Canada has to be a USA state?.
Get him to a mental hospital!
ASAP!!
Musl laughing when talking about Ebola?
What a Circus! 🤬
DOGE is a CF, we know. Seriously, to whoever is posting this, go find yourself a job doing social media for a newspaper with journalistic integrity. Anyone who interviews you down the road who is an ethical journalist is going to ask you why you stayed after Bezos bent the knee to the orange felon.
Musk has been prancing around, enjoying destroying programs that exist for the common good. He was not supervising his people directly and did not know or care what they did. He probably does not know or care if anything has been restored. Much, much damage has been done.
Seems like even in the world of billionaires, there’s a learning curve! Let’s hope the next big project doesn’t need a rescue mission to get back on track. Who knew DOGE could have such a wild impact?
The president asks if anyone objects to Musk being there and NO ONE, not one cabinet member, says anything even remotely conveying concern? Even after Musk jokes about canceling Ebola prevention? A VERY VERY CONTAGIOUS and highly DEADLY virus?
It’s also much harder to turn one isolated program on than it is to turn it off. There is no support structure left to make things happening. Same for PepFar. Lil Marco gave a waiver but its still not working. People will die.
I feel bad for the reportorial staff who felt betrayed by the owner/editorial staff last year. But that firewall, like so many other norms, has also been torched by oligarchs, in this case Bezos. Boycott where it most matters—Amazon.
It is almost laughable if it weren't so horrible. The dude comes off like the white Fresh Prince of Bellaire, like, oops, we made a booboo. God damn FREAK!!
Why can’t he even wear a ball cap properly? Like, how unloved as a child do you have to be to not know how to do it or think it fools anyone that you don’t want to ruin your hair plugs?
Stop pussyfooting about what Musk is. He has been and is destroying our country and doing damage to other countries as well. People are losing their lives over his stupid mistakes and vile retribution against humanity.
So much damage has already been done (and lives lost) because of this stupid "accidentally cancelled" mistake on Musk's part. Please make it plain that he made a major costly mistake. Don't let him get away with this. We need Elon Musk to get out of the government. He's ruining everything!
A real "he said/she said" conundrum. He said they've restored funding; the people running the program say it's not true. Gosh, you very serious journalists sure do have a tough job! Sort of a "Dammed if we do/Thousands or millions of poor people on the other side of the world dammed if we don't"
Weak ass stenography and water carrying in hopes you don't put the kibosh on your boss's government contracts for his midlife-crisis rocket ships, may seem to you an viable way for the guardians of democracy to "split the baby", but all your readers get is a dead baby
Firstly, can we trust the WAPO to report correctly as multiple reports say this is an outright lie..maybe put that up top. Second, major outbreak in Congo of a new disease...normally CDC steps in before it breaks out...no fucking idea if we even have that team now
The only positive in this shit show of a world we now live in - is that people are finally seeing just how dumb Elmo is. I’ve had arguments for years with people and tried to convince them that he’s a snake oil salesman with no actual intelligence and his only actual ability is to grift
What a joke; did we forget 1) bird-flu experts fired by USDA and attempts to rehire; 2) nuclear scientist responsible for security and attempts to rehire; 3) etc.

But your post repeats Elon's lies. Readers must scroll down to the hed and deck for better info, and read the whole story for the full truth.
Do you think you could try that part?
Did you include that in your headline ..no.. or did you bury that in the 10th
paragraph

(Also, everyone at WaPo should work to rule.)
So gotta to ask... are Americans and their culture this dishonest?
What would we call such an organization?
Cancelled my subscription this morning after Bezos dismantled the op-ed page.
