Elon Musk's enemy, USAID, was investigating Starlink over its contracts in Ukraine

Summary

USAID was investigating Elon Musk’s Starlink over its contracts with Ukraine when Musk moved to dismantle the agency.

The probe aimed to assess Ukraine’s use of Starlink terminals and USAID’s oversight. Musk, who has called USAID “evil,” faces scrutiny as multiple federal agencies question the legality of DOGE’s actions.

Additionally, DOGE is being sued for alleged violations of federal privacy laws.

Musk’s campaign against USAID aligns with anti-“deep state” rhetoric, despite his own extensive government ties.

Oh, so it's a conflict of interest on his part. Sounds about right.

An unpopular, unelected Nazi billionaire with severe conflicts of interest has been given full control of the US Government, and apparently not one of the other 346 million Americans can do anything about it.

Oh, they can do something about it. It's another matter entirely that they will because it's well outside their comfort zones.

Oops all conflicts

The Supreme Court immunity only extends to the President not his ass lickers.

I thought we were deporting criminals.

USAID also helped end apartheid in South Africa.

Now why would the thin-skinned son of a slave-owning white South African emerald mine owner have a problem with that?

Remember, it’s usually not a crime if you get caught doing it and you’re rich

He is also currently in the White House, surrounded by beefed up security, and they expanded the security parameter by 2 city blocks.
