Jack, Elon Musk is testing the boundaries of corruption with his latest move. On Monday, Musk announced that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) would be shut down—jeopardizing billions in foreign aid, global health programs, and disaster relief efforts.

This is almost certainly illegal. Congress funds USAID—Musk does not have the unilateral authority to shut it down. Check out more about the power grab here:

 

🚨 Elon Musk announces destruction of US foreign aid agency

 

This isn’t just reckless—it’s a full-blown assault on democracy orchestrated by an unelected billionaire who has no business controlling government agencies. We can’t afford to sit back and watch. The fight for democracy is now.

Thank you for staying in the fight,
