Destruction of world’s largest humanitarian programme was done without formal authority or official oversight, former USAID employees claim
Elon Musk, leader of the Trump administration’s now-disbanded Department of Government Efficiency, must sit for depositions along with senior State Department officials over their role in dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
Pointing to findings that Musk had made the decision to break up USAID – one of the world’s largest humanitarian programs – despite lacking formal authority or official approval – District Judge Theodore Chuang wrote that there was “no alternative” than for Musk and other officials to provide testimony regarding their decision-making process.
The ruling represents a win for a group of anonymous former USAID employees who are suing Musk, DOGE and State Department officials over the closure.
Yes but that concentration of wealth is not only an asset but a threat.
He’s rich. Obscenely rich. The kind of rich where you can buy other rich people. He has no peers.
And if you take him out, that money, power, influence, it’s all up for grabs. The power vacuum is intoxicating to a certain subset of humanity who, funny thing, he’s been propping up.
I’m concerned about the leopards. They are going to die of morbid obesity.
Pretty sure Elon has his Will state that his AI Wifu Grok is to get everything…which is a nightmare in of itself
That would be a dream come true. AI agents are not legal entities with the right to own or inherit property. Therefore, all of his stuff has no legal owner. By the principle of escheat, it now belongs to the State.
Sadly, I doubt Elon’s lawyers are quite this dumb.
