Musk is said to have control over a payment system which is not something that elected, let alone unelected billionaires have ever had access to previously. However it's for USAID, so are they gonna just stiff every third world country that doesn't allow exploiting their natural resources until everything is gone? Or will places where US funding saves lives with malaria vaccines and treatments suddenly just start seeing more people die... I've been upset the US is funding so much on their own, Just look at how much places reduce their budget as trump pulls out, we're bankrolling their hourlys, if we have to go into debt to pay for it, then other countries need to go proportionally into debt based of their size(population and GDP), but under no circumstances has most Americans ever wanted life saving support to stop like what it looks like is gonna happen with musky and trumpo only wanting to support violence.
