The heartbreak. Trump claims USAID is bankrupting America—it’s less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Not just greed. We’re watching evil at work.

I live in MAGA country. When I talk about what Musk is doing to the federal programs he is stripping of funding and employees, I get the same response: “He’s just pausing programs to find waste. No one will lose their job or grant or subsidy.” FAFO.

Elon Musk spent $40 million in Super Bowl ads to attack USAID. Tell Congress that for pennies on the dollar, foreign aid is a deal we can’t afford to lose. Call your members of Congress and demand action. Here’s the number to call: (202)224-3121 Please pass it on. Save Foreign Aid.

A thing to understand here is that Wired + Teen Vogue is Condé Nast — this is the Newhouse family being basically the only good billionaire publishers. Other than them, it’s the indies of the new alt media and stalwarts like ProPublica and then basically crickets.

Elon Musk is the single biggest beneficiary of U.S. government contracts. Taxpayers are subsidizing the “fire hose of hate and falsehoods” that now appear on X that Musk bought for $44 billion two years ago. Do you see a pattern here? Does this make you angry?

Musk is a billionaire oligarch supervillain with no use for workers. He wants to A.I. everything (largely with a MEMPHIS-based supercomputer) Are you with him, or with the people/workers of this country? That is the Question. It should not be partisan. the.ink/p/what-elon-...

Last night's watch of High On the Hog (S2 E4) touched on "food deserts," a misleading term implying that such places occur naturally, like desert biomes. Rather, Black & brown communities are deprived of access to affordable fresh food and healthy ingredients. Call it what it is: "food apartheid"

This means that we now need highly qualified computer specialists to ensure that no digital backdoor has been installed by Musk’s guys. — Does our sluggish, outdated justice system understand this problem?
