Musk, who was being investigated by USAID for the funding given to Starlink to assist Ukraine, was trying to abuse his unelected position to dismantle them? Interesting.
Oh? He used Twitter to promote and signal boost conspiracies about USAID, too? How coincidental!
It's not like the rich fuck has a vendetta against anyone trying to hold him accountable. Definitely not trying to cover up his crimes or anything.

There has to be a criminal charge for trying to do something like that?
- That's cute that you think the laws matter. Our president has 34 felony convictions.
  
  True, but he has already been sentenced and punished for that. It just turns out that his punishment was nothing.
