Celebrated New York Times columnist @NickKristof wrote that large numbers of vulnerable infants, children, mothers and others are dying in destitute third world countries following Elon Musk's DOGE's closing of the Agency for International Development, with Trump’s backing.
Musk challenged Kristof to name one person in Africa or elsewhere who has died because of USAID’s closing. So Kristof, knowing what stopping critical medicines, food supplements, clean water and more would do to the life expectancy of these impoverished and sick families went to these areas and collected evidence and names of the deceased. He then wrote another column accusing the Muskites of knowingly endangering so many lives. He invited Elon Musk to join him on another trip to Africa to see for himself.
Cowardly Elon ignored the invitation and called Kristof “evil” and “a piece of shit.” This type of language from Musk’s foul mouth is not unusual. In the past it would be considered unthinkable from a CEO of a major company—Tesla—to use such snarling language risking probable buyers turning away. -R
