Elon Musk is from of Africa. He grew up in a wealthy african family.
His massive cuts will impact war refugees and some of the poorest people in Africa. People who, for no fault of their own, were born in the wrong place at the wrong time.
This is how he gives back to Africans.
If they were white, they wouldn’t have died.
I would bet good money that Trump cares just as little about white children.
You think they care about the color or the amount of money they have? Which is more important to them to discriminate you think?
Color
Actually it's Colour to me UK English.
Trump and Musk killed these people.
Oh come on! Harris and Biden would have done worse!
Thank God I didn't vote for genocide!
Can you imagine the hellscape that would have resulted if harris had made the unforgivable blunder of listening to people who don't like genocide?
USAID spent $38.1 billion in fiscal year 2023. (1)
Sounds like a lot of money, right? Well, actually no. It's less than 1% of the US budget. In 2024, total federal spending was $6.8 trillion. (2).
To give you a perspective:
Since October 7th, the United States spent $17.9 billion dollars on military aid to Israel (3). Israel is a rich country with universal healthcare (4).
US millionaires and billionaires evade more than $150 billion a year in taxes, according to the head of the IRS. (5). Gabriel Zucman, a highly respected economist (6) came to a similar conclusion. In a recent paper, Zucman found the richest americans evade taxes on 25% of their income (7)
According to leaked tax returns, in 2016 and 2017, Donald Trump paid $750 in taxes. And he paid no income tax at all in 10 of the last 15 years. (8) (9).
The US is not in financial trouble because of vaccines to kids in Africa. Period.
Elon Musk claims USAID employees are thieves/scum. He keeps accusing them of fraud on his social media X. That's another lie.
In 2024, the Office of the Inspector General audited USAID at the request of Congress. The 70 page audit report found no evidence of fraud.
A white South African did that. Is anybody surprised?
But at least musk gets a tax break
I want Burkina Faso to succeed, I want them to form a stable bloc, to empower each other and to help neighboring nations, I really hope and I really do, that it becomes reality, we need to lift every individual from poverty, give every tribe a benefit to allow them to thrive, I hope that West African governments can come together
