Fascinating how every single right wing pundit immediately stopped talking about the Epstein files after Elon Musk revealed Trump was all over them

A new study projects 14 million deaths — 2.4 million a year — by 2030...all due to the Musk/Trump USAID cuts.
4.5 million will be children under 5...
When they screech about "population decline" and "sanctity of life," remember how many children they have killed.

![Findings from The Lancet:
Higher levels of USAID funding—primarily directed toward LMICs, particularly African countries—were associated with a 15% reduction in age-standardised all-cause mortality (risk ratio [RR] 0·85, 95% CI 0·78–0·93) and a 32% reduction in under-five mortality (RR 0·68, 0·57–0·80). This finding indicates that 91 839 663 (95% CI 85 690 135–98 291 626) all-age deaths, including 30 391 980 (26 023 132–35 482 636) in children younger than 5 years, were prevented by USAID funding over the 21-year study period. USAID funding was associated with a 65% reduction (RR 0·35, 0·29-0·42) in mortality from HIV/AIDS (representing 25·5 million deaths), 51% (RR 0·49, 0·39–0·61) from malaria (8·0 million deaths), and 50% (RR 0·50, 0·40–0·62) from neglected tropical diseases (8·9 million deaths). Significant decreases were also observed in mortality from tuberculosis, nutritional deficiencies, diarrhoeal diseases, lower respiratory infections, and maternal and perinatal conditions. Forecasting models predicted that the current steep funding cuts could result in more than 14 051 750 (uncertainty interval 8 475 990–19 662 191) additional all-age deaths, including 4 537 157 (3 124 796–5 910 791) in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:waplkqr2wuy2c4qbge6h6ed4/bafkreie6koeuicivgq6rlz65bxdiorsnrqklq2tzsm7ejqvzpouvxg7amq@jpeg)

We're extremely aware of the limits and benefits of this platform. It's likely fewer people (we'll never know since Elon took the place private), but it's most certainly actual people. And the people here are academics, artists, people of real intellectual influence. It's a good place to be.

It’s absolutely true that Bill Gates and other billionaires who claim to be less evil than Elon Musk could, in fact, be working to fill the horrific global aid spending gap that the MAGA execution of USAID has created.

I am once again confronting the fact that over the course of a decade of being called a hysterical Elon Musk hater I never came close to imagining the depth of evil he was actually capable of.

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030. Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

“Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is a deal with the devil.
It hikes up taxes on people making less than $50,000 while cutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits to give Elon Musk and greedy billionaires a huge tax break.
You do the math. Is that worth it to you?” @aoc.bsky.social

🚨Massie now says he has 10 votes to block Trump's Big Bill; Musk and RU propaganda apparatus are lined up behind him. This means BBB WILL NOT PASS until his faction is appeased. Dems must propose a CLEAN DEBT CEILING BILL now!

Elon spent $277 million to elect Trump. He used his social media empire to rig the discourse to help Trump. He spent his personal time and energy to elect Trump. Every bad thing Trump does was enabled by Elon's money, time and energy. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

Elon has permanently ruined his reputation among affluent liberals, the core EV consumer base, and now he's dropping among Republicans too because of the fight with Trump www.businessinsider.com/e….

Leaving Trump's side didn't make Elon Musk much more popular
Polling shows Elon Musk dug himself a bigger hole after attack Donald Trump. He's yet to climb out of it.
