They also stopped $489 million of food aid to leave it to rot, which it has. That level of waste is not aligned with their mission statement to reduce waste. So the statement can't be trusted.

Even taking that unsourced statement as true, a single anecdotal accident doesn't invalidate an entire mission statement.

Sorry for not citing current mainstream headline news (I guess Fox is not airing this though) https://www.yahoo.com/news/usaid-inspector-fired-revealing-n...

If you are ignorant to widely-reported news, it's curious to dismiss it as anecdotal.

It's also curious to paint this an accident (before you knew anything about it) when it's the intended result of the order and an inspector was fired for attempting to raise effort to correct it.

Everything Elon claims is unsourced and often completely wrong but his followers seem to have no problem taking it at face value
