"I understand the feasibility concerns as well as the emotional toll this will take on those impacted as well as the team assisting. We've been asked to staff a 24/7 Coordination Support Team in the Ops Center's Taskforce space beginning immediately."

"The plan to recall overseas staff was described to NPR by current and former federal government officials who were not authorized to speak publicly and feared retribution.

He's trying to make this a fait accompli before the lawsuits reach the Courts.

And Herr Musk is finding ways to reroute money that helped solidify our role as a world leader... into his bank account. Those several wives and dozen children are NOT cheap!

It seems to me, reading about USAID, it solves international humanitarian problems the same way all those CA programs for the homeless solve homelessness.

#8. Me too. Jump on board unless you like billions of tax payer money wasted on useless, corrupt programs designed to line the pockets of Democrat officials.

South African-born racist Felon Musk didn't like 1) USAID helping poor people of color in Africa; 2) and USAID snooping around his Starlink contracts in Ukraine.

He's the Worst Person in the World
