“Sales of Elon Musk’s Tesla have plummeted dramatically in Germany, France, Sweden, Norway and the U.K. following the billionaire co-president’s meddling in European politics; throwing his support behind far-right extremist groups.”

Robyn Pennachia at Wonkette:

The attack on USAID is important for a number of reasons (again, it’s unconstitutional as hell), and one of those reasons is that it’s becoming very clear that it’s been motivated by Elon Musk’s personal animus towards the organization — perhaps even more than we originally thought. Many people have speculated that it’s likely that he’s not too fond of USAID, due to their history of helping to dismantle apartheid in his home country of South Africa. While we can’t know what’s in his head, it seems fairly likely. However, it turns out that he may have an even more personal grudge against the agency he ridiculously refers to as a “criminal organization.” Why? Because USAID was investigating Starlink’s activities in Ukraine. [...] Musk’s hysteria over USAID, and the lengths that he has gone to in order to paint an agency that provides funds to organizations dedicated to feeding people, providing medical care, clearing land mines, and doing other good things around the world as an evil “criminal organization” rife with nonspecific fraud and waste. So far, everything Musk and his supporters have claimed about USAID has been either proven untrue or not proven at all. [...] USAID does not take up a lot of our money. It’s less than one percent of our entire budget and, if divided evenly among the United States population, cost each of us $131 a year. That is a whole lot less than, as Sally Struthers might have put it, a cup of coffee a day. Even if a lot of people who don’t really pay attention to things or have no awareness of the benefits of “soft power” that comes with doing good things around the world don’t like the idea of foreign aid, it’s a weird choice for a major target. If you didn’t know the many, many good things USAID does, Doktor Zoom explicated that for you today as well. Unless, you know, that target happened to mention, during testimony about fraud and waste by someone who is actually qualified to identify fraud and waste, that they are investigating one of your companies.

Wanna know the real reason why Elon Musk and his scam DOGE department are targeting USAID? The agency’s investigation into Starlink in Ukraine and its role in ending the racist Apartheid system in South Africa that makes Jim Crow in the US look more lenient in comparison.

TRUMP, MUSK DEMOLISHED ON S. AFRICAN LAND REFORM In January, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa signed a new law designed to address historical land-ownership inequalities against Black people. This ticked off US President Donald Trump, who threatened to cut aid to Pretoria, which, according to him, is doing ‘terrible’ things to ‘certain groups’ of citizens - meaning White people. However, some of the alleged ‘victims’ have called his bluff - among them, the White South African content creator in this clip. @honestappraisal1, who has built a reputation for his on-point political commentary, says Trump is not just racist but also ignorant regarding South Africa’s history and social and economic reality. He argues that Trump’s misinformed position results from his fraternising with South African right-wing elements and his tech-bro sidekick, Elon Musk (who was born in South Africa) - noting that most of the opposition towards the country’s land-reform programme is racially motivated by those who benefitted from the apartheid system.

Glad that he's just openly admitting that USAID is about preserving US global dominance and imperialism.

February 2, 2025 - More than 200.000 people marched in Berlin in condemnation of the ruling Christian Democratic Union party working together with the fascist AfD to try to push through harsh anti-immigrant measures, breaking with the long-standing pact in German politics never to work with the far-right.

Btw, this is how conservatives keep getting to claim that trans people are a new thing no one has ever heard, because our history and existences have continually been erased or obscured systematically through out history.

The most famous example was 92 years when the Nazis raided the library of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, the medical practice where the term transsexual was first coined and the first gender affirming surgery was performed in in 1931.

What did the Nazis do after raiding the library on May 6th, 1933? You may be familiar with these images

It is happening again.
