No, the biggest knock against him is how he caused hundreds of thousands of people in the third world to die from sudden cutoff of food and medicine. This will never be forgiven or forgotten.
It looked like it might happen for a bit! And it is quite bad of course that that could have happened! But it didn't.
I have read multiple articles to the same effect from other publications. Aid got cut off instantly (to the extent that supply trucks were left without gasoline), people could not access medicine and food that they needed to survive, and then they died, horribly. That was just ground zero.
Get out of your bubble before you destroy yourself.
edit: Okay fine, I'll rephrase it. There is no convincing evidence at this point of mass deaths. It's entirely speculative on the basis, frankly, of assumptions we know to be wrong.
It's all estimates based on a model that projected what would happen, which has been circulated by numerous publications with inflammatory headlines. The goal is likely to create your exact reaction.
If you'd like to try it yourself, use a deep research skill modeled after Karpathy's approach tell it to fully investigate the claim. Assume all sources of journalism from any outlet have a political bias and draw conclusion only from verifiable primary source data.
"We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead."
This is the richest man in the world being GLEEFUL abut destroying an organization that helps the poorest people in the world. Musk is basically Ebenezer Scrooge.
In an interview when asked about it he insisted their was vast amounts of fraud in USAID.
Which you "prove" by linking to a story how $9 million was "diverted" (although the person responsible was caught and charged) out of a total of $12 billion.
That's 9 parts of 12 thousand or 0.075% that you are describing as "a lot".
So far all you have demonstrated is that US AID loses less aid money than CBH loses in grain to parrots each year.
If you think think that millions of tonnes of grain should be not transported because less than 1% is eaten by parrots then you're committed to starving millions of food.
There are others but I suspect there is no quantity or quality of examples that would change your mind.
Keep in mind that the fraud that is discovered and prosecuted is usually only a small fraction of what actually exists.
What makes you think this is the Trump administration lying about fraud versus them shining a light on actually fraudulent organization that you believe was doing a good job?
You tell me: what kind of Valid Evidence would convince you one way or the other?
"What makes you think this is the Trump administration lying about fraud"
Because they lie constantly about absolutely everything.
"what kind of Valid Evidence would convince you one way or the other?"
Evidence that comes from people not involved with destroying USAID.
(I literally just asked Gemini "how many deaths are verified to be caused directly by the sudden shutdown of usaid?" to find some articles I had read featuring actual journalists tracking deaths on the ground.)
