Elon Musk suggests that Sam decides what is funded in government

Elon Musk appeared at the first meeting of President Donald Trump’s cabinet from his second term on Wednesday to talk about what the billionaire is doing with Dodge, the group that is currently dismantling the federal government in illegal power that surrounds the congress. And while Musk was repeating a line that he said earlier about how he would inevitably make mistakes while decreasing trillions from the budget, there was another moment when he accidentally revealed that he was unilaterally choosing what was being financed or not.

“I have to say that we will make mistakes. We will not be perfect. But when we make mistakes, we will correct it very quickly, “Musk said.

Then the billionaire oligarch gave his example of a “mistake” that was corrected, which was extremely revealing.

“For example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled a lot briefly was the prevention of Ebola,” Musk said. “I think we all want Ebola Prevention. So we immediately restored Ebola prevention. And there was no interruption. But we have to move quickly if we achieve a reduction in a 1 trillion deficit during the financial 2026. “

Whether he knows it or not, Musk admits that he has made the decisions about what he has to get funding in a completely arbitrary way. Although it may seem obvious that the Ebola prevention must be funded, it has not been selected or confirmed that it is making that decision. His term from President Trump as a “special government official” is seemingly eradicated waste, fraud and abuse. But everything Dog presented publicly to cut is just something that Musk did not like, not something that was an example of waste, fraud or abuse.

Congress very famous has the power of the bag and has created agencies such as USAID to spread foreign help around the world. And if the chosen billionaire can just go in and decide what is financed, this is just not the legal way to do it.

What makes Musk’s allegations even more caught is that at least one Ebola expert says that the billionaire does not even represent exactly what happened. Craig Spencer, a doctor who works at the Brown University School of Public Health and survived Ebola, wrote on x How Musk did not really tell the truth about what happened now, when the funds were drastically shortened for public health.

“On January 29, Uganda reported an Ebola epidemic. Usually, the US would very quickly send one of our Ebola experts to help the answer. But this time we didn’t. Because we couldn’t. Because this administration would not release them correctly when this hearth was announced, “Spencer wrote.

“And usually the US would help to create border screening and other on -site measures,” Spencer continued. “But this time we didn’t. We would usually talk to whom to help stop the hearth. But this time we didn’t. Because CDC employees were not even allowed to talk to them. “

Spencer even says a colleague in Uganda tried to call the White House for the hearth and failed to reach anyone.

“Do you know who is Ebola Prevention here in the United States? CDC, Spencer wroteS “Hundreds of these front line experts lost their job last week as part of the indiscriminate” cost savings “. More cuts are expected. USAID has long supported Ebola’s response efforts abroad. No more. “

So, it is not true to say “one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was the prevention of Ebola” and that it was quickly restored …

Since you have thrown yourself or directly dismantled the reaction structures needed to terminate the foci of Ebola abroad and protect us here in the United States

Musk talks about about 10 minutesAccording to Livestream of YouTubeAnd he talks about the ways Trump had told him to be aggressive in the dismissal of people. It is unclear how many people have been fired by the federal government so far, but test officials were the first to be released and the Associated Press reported on Wednesday plans to fire more than more than March 13S

In addition to Musk, the cabinet meeting also touched on other topics, such as Trump’s plan to abandon the EB-5 visa in favor of what he calls a “gold card”, which will allow someone who is ready to pay $ 5 million to buy a green card to have legal residence in the country.

Trump also expressed his idea that Canada should become America’s 51st country, an aggressively stupid threat against a longtime ally. The president also made the ridiculous claim that the European Union “was created to fuck the United States.”

Several lawsuits have been brought against Musk and Trump for the way they are currently destroying the Federal Government. But it remains to be seen if these lawsuits will cost something. Trump’s Ministry of Justice is constantly ignoring the court orders in “Impudent challenge“From the rule of law. And since the federal courts do not have their own people with weapons to apply the law, Trump and his chases can simply continue to do what they do.
