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.
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?
