      Elon Musk the child-killer trillionaire is upset cause his *fee-fees* were hurt.

    2. ckglle3lle on

      He won’t do anything that requires discovery. But bloviating like this can still sic his goon trolls on people

    5. DragonPup on

      Discovery is going to be fun when they demand the internal USAID study and forecasts of deaths only to find DOGE didn’t consider it at all.

      He will lose for like five different reasons but this is a PR move, not a legal one.

      We need more SLAPP laws, preferably a very aggressive national one.

      Truth is a defense to defamation. I’m not sure he would want a court finding that his doge actions directly led to the deaths of millions. Not that it would matter legally, but I doubt he would want weeks or months of a high profile case going over all the ways his negligence directly led to the death of children.

      This is why billionares, and especially trillionares should not exist. No single ketamine fueled nepo-baby welfare queen loser should be able to have this impact. To accumulate such wealth while so many go hungry is a mental illness. I support 99% tax on everything over one-million a year and capital gains reforms so that ‚working money‘ is similarly each year.

      Suggestion for the presiding judge: if you fine him $1 trillion, it would cover the annual USAID budget for 31 years (by my calcs based on 2024 USAID budget).

      „My pride is worth more than childrens‘ lives“ is not the flex he thinks it is.

      Self-claimed warrior of free speech promises to sue a person for exercising their free speech. Can’t make this up.

      STFU Elon Musk…you are responsible for a lot of devastating results of your asinine DOGE bullshit…babies needlessly dying from AIDS, the current Ebola outbreak and don’t forget Screw Worm–this is just some of what you are responsible for. Why don’t you hop on one of your rockets and launch yourself…far, far away…

    25. WorldBoofingChampion on

      All the money in the world and he’s STILL the biggest fucking loser to ever walk the planet. Fuck Elon

      DOGE’s elimination of USAID has led directly to the deaths of over half a million people worldwide (so far), a significant portion of them CHILDREN mind you, and has also caused humanitarian crises around the globe.

      And now reporting also indicates that DOGE’s cuts to foreign aid have crippled efforts to contain the Ebola virus outbreak in Africa.

      This is quickly becoming the worst Ebola outbreak on record.

      Musk’s/DOGE’s actions have also allowed China to fill the void left by USAID’s termination.

      Yes, while Trump is alienating the rest of the world, China is building up its global influence.

      And to make matters worse, cuts to USAID did absolutely nothing to address the debt/deficit because it made up such a small portion of the budget to begin with.

      The decision to abolish USAID has tarnished our good will and favorable reputation on the world stage.

      Squandered our soft power and strategic advantages.

      Lost us geopolitical leverage, diplomatic credibility, and the capacity to counter Russian and Chinese influence in these regions.

      And again, this all came with a very cheap price tag.

      The Trump Administration/DOGE literally cut funding for the screwworm monitoring program and the USDA animal disease program.

      DOGE also laid off over a thousand employees from the USDA’s animal and plant health inspection service.

      And worse yet, these cuts happened just before the US lifted restrictions of Mexican cattle imports, which reversed Biden era import bans on bison, horse and cattle after an outbreak of the parasite occurred in central America.

      That outbreak prompted a state of emergency in Panama and cases began spreading north through Mexico. And now the Screwworm parasite has emerged in the US for the first time in 60 years.

      Elon Musk might have some of his MAGA followers fooled, but the truth is, his entire DOGE operation amounted to a tremendous waste of resources and a fraudulent effort in itself.

      DOGE was never acting on behalf of the American people, but was pursuing an agenda that was fueled by the right’s culture wars and the narcissistic, shallow ambitions of an unelected billionaire and his team of unqualified teenage lackeys who all believed they were the main character in Mr. Robot or something.

      This effort was driven by the ideological convictions of a small group of incompetent „DOGE Bros.“ There was nothing sincere or strategic about it. One might say it’s all been quite *wasteful.*

      Many of DOGE’s cancelled contracts, for instance, related to the elimination of perceived „DEI“ programs. Most of the cancellations listed had nothing to do with DEI, and deliberately included businesses that were disproportionately run by women and minorities.

      Meaning that this effort was far more ideological than strategic. Elon and his Muskrats were simply going after whatever agencies they perceived as operating under some radical left agenda.

      And all the while, there was never any acknowledgement of the fact that he had massive conflicts of interest, his companies were subsidized to the teeth and he was taking active steps to protect his own interests, steal treasury data, slow down his competitors and manipulate information.

      Most of Musk’s claims about DOGE’s „cost cutting“ and „fraud“ eliminating efforts were inaccurate or flat out unfounded.

      Musk also took credit for „saving costs“ where credit wasn’t due. For example, he bragged about cancelling contracts that weren’t going to be renewed in the first place.

      DOGE deliberately obfuscated data and quietly deleted many of its claims from its own website. And even then, its so-called „wall of receipts“ was still riddled with accounting errors, outdated data or other miscalculations.

      At the same time, DOGE was gutting agencies responsible for scientific research and preserving public health, even agencies like the CFPB, which exists to protect consumers from financial predators, and USAID of course—an agency that’s become politicized by the right for no real.

      In other words, it was colossal and cruel failure.

      You want to talk about fraud? Look no further, the call is coming from inside the house—the WHITE HOUSE.

      So Musk can spare me with his white knight savior bullsh-t.

      He’s the VILLAIN in this narrative.

      Do it, Elon. Let everyone see the cold-blooded child killer you really are.

    28. A_Nonny_Muse on

      So Elon promises a SLAPP… Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation.

      Judges take a very low view of them.

    30. byndrsn on

      Meaning he could care less about the 4.5 million people that are going to die. 

    37. Darth_Innovader on

      The worlds richest man may also have the worlds highest kill count (among living people). Appropriate.

    38. houstonyoureaproblem on

      Yet another example of ultra-wealthy people using the legal system to attempt to shut down their political opposition and manipulate public opinion.

      100% guaranteed he won’t be suing in any state with strong anti-SLAPP laws.

    39. Tiny_Election1013 on

      PLEASE PLEASE DO IT. Please propel Ro to the national stage after the midterm elections.

    45. NotThatAngel on

      Is Musk going to argue it’s only going to be hundreds of thousands of dead children and not millions? Because it’s hundreds of thousands already. Eventually, yes it will get up into the millions. Musk is unaccustomed to being held responsible for his actions.
