“Everything that USAID does is a lie”
- Thread starter mohoosier
- Start date
I'm glad Musk is exposing the atrocious and frivolous spending our nation does so GD well. Trim the fvcking fat from the steak, Elon!!!
The rumors of allocating millions and millions of dollars in rubbers for some Muslim to screw his 3 wives offends the hell out of me!!

FACT FOCUS: No evidence that $50 million was designated by the US to buy condoms for Hamas
President Donald Trump claimed during the Laken Riley Act signing that his administration had “identified and stopped $50 million being sent to Gaza to buy condoms for Hamas.”

“USAID procures condoms for around $0.05 apiece,” he wrote. “$50m would be ONE BILLION condoms. What’s going on here is NOT a billion condoms for Gaza. What’s going on is that the bros at DOGE apparently can’t read govt spreadsheets.”

Here’s a thought. Why is USAID, hell the entire Federal government, in the business of buying condoms at all?
AIDs has been running rampant in Africa now for what? 50 years? If we’re not going to address the ass sex and prostitution that proliferates it, why are we spraying a water pistol on a five alarm fire?
Same with Gaza. Hell, they’re experiencing “genocide” they need births.
I'm all for trimming fat. I think what Musk is doing is great. No complaints.
Can you guarantee that Musk will be net neutral to government spending? How much will H1Bs cost over the long run, ect.?
That’s the crux. People think he’s going to start awarding himself massive government contracts. I’m sure he might get some contracts, but he deserves them, his companies are the best at what they do.
If Musk is really going to self-serve it will be from a regulatory scaleback. And it will be hard to splice which regulations really did need to be pared, and which he is doing out of self-interest.
Then wouldn't it be prudent to slow down and let things play out? Someone said the shitlibs were up in arms. I don’t see it here. Do you? Maybe I'm a shitlib, maybe I'm not. I'm not up in arms. Good for us.
He wants to fire people making 100k, so he can hire immigrants and pay them 50k. Don't lose sight of that. That's a big reason why we're where we're at.
There is no one making 50k at Musk’s companies. Maybe janitorial, even then I doubt it.
That assumes they are being brought in to replace a like for like employee. Which, while there are some sob stories I’m sure are true, isn’t usually the case.
The posts on here related to this topic seem to be sob stories. How do you know this is the case? Shrinking the tax base of any single job by 50% doesn’t sound like a winning formula...I think MAGA would agree with me.
How do you defend allowing corporations hiring foreign workers for half the cost? I think Disney was the example used here. They apologized for having their American workers train their Indian replacements. Do you have a different set of numbers to use?
