I’m not sure how this is news since the number is stable from months ago.
Unless my maths, and quick checks were wrong then, this single Musk/Trump/Miller/Vought change is between the amount of death caused by Nazis marching people to death camps, and the total deaths from the Germans in WWII. I know the USAID deaths are less direct and projected, but I wish I saw it framed this way more. At the very least to see how wrong I am

It does seem to put them in the same league for indirectly caused deaths as Hitler, Stalin and Mao.
In anthropology there is the ideas of invisible/structural violence and it feels very similar to this.
