This is silly. USAID was investigating the usage of Starlink in Ukraine, which by the way Musk provided completely free of charge at a time when no one else was doing anything for Ukraine.
DOGE found that USAID has actually spent taxpayer dollars to funding terrorists.
I have no idea how we try to connect these dots to be “personal”. USAID was a sham and it’s been exposed.
I think maybe you're missing the negatives Musk/Starlink did in Ukraine.
And they alleged terrorism. They did not show it, FISA and other courts aren't engaged, and they have Flynn, a foreign agent, making those claims and boosting them.

How did DOGE determine that the funds went to terrorists? Do you know? I certainly don't. I want to know, so we can put the right guardrails in place for the future, and frankly, I don't trust musk at all. He lies whenever it's convenient.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant and we should be ensuring it's shining everywhere.

His attack on USAID was not "rooting out waste", it was to settle a personal vendetta against the agency.
