According to the estimates of Brooke Nichols, DOGE cuts to foreign aid programs had led to some 300,000 deaths by May 2025, mostly of children. By February 2026, when her counter that estimated the number of deaths was retired, the numbers were kept at the one-year mark from when the cuts began: 781,343 deaths caused by the funding discontinuation.

Fuck him.

781,343 deaths.

You don't just get to go "oops!" and walk away.

Nearly eight hundred thousand dead in the first year. Probably much more by now.

I was a government contractor for four years. I made really good money, worked from home, and had really good benefits. A year ago, Elon and Trump decided to stop paying the contract I was on. Between outsourcing and AI, I couldn't find anyone to hire me. I had to work in a grocery store for six months with ten years of web development and project management experience. I start my job as a mailman on Monday. I'll never forgive them and forsake anyone associated with them. Until the seas dry and the land breaks, I wish suffering and damnation upon them.

Proposed headline: Elon Musk says, "PlEASe like me PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE every body I need you to like me I'll do literally anything l can be ultra whatever wing because I believe in nothing except that you should all like me plEASE LIKE ME"

The fact that there isn't a well funded group actively hunting this man with the intent to mutilate him to death is somewhat shocking to me.

If there were any justice, he would be convicted and face the death penalty. He's a menace to humanity.

No forgiveness, no mercy.

Elon Musk is a colossal fucking moron. A pure complete dipshit. Why people keep giving this stupid fuck money is beyond me. He is an egotistical, narcissistic, racist, elitist, bigoted asshole. Let's just all keep throwing $$$ at this piece of shit.

may this fucker be reincarnated into every last person who was denied USAID and died as a result this past year

if there is some form of spiritual punishement in the after life his consiousness gets to witness every suffering. in excruciating detail.

Only hundreds of thousands of children paid the price with their lives.

"Sorry everyone. Fascism just makes me feel so good, ya know?"

This article tries to make him sound better than he was too. "where he implemented mass firings and radically cut federal spending."

He didn't radically cut federal spending. Federal spending isn't down, he just fired people and the money stayed the same really.

Let's say the CDC that is struggling to track this parasite presumed in lettuce(cyclosporiasis) which was tracked since 1997. Why, well Kennedy told them not to track it anymore in July 2025. July 2026, largest number of cases ever recorded.

The CDC fired ~3200 people, roughly 25% of their staff. Yet the budget request for the CDC in 2026 isn't really any different than 2025, 2024 etc. Maybe a fair comparison would be comparing the 2018, 2019 time period during Trump's first admin to now, the CDC budget is essentially the same when you adjust it for inflation over that time.

Full federal budget estimates look like

2024 budget: 6.8 trillion

2025 budget: 7 trillion

2026 we are at 5.52 trillion including June with 6 months left

So it surely doesn't look like he "radically cut federal spending"... He just radically cut federal employment, and they are still spending the money.

Fucking asshole...

Strange way of saying gross incompetence.

Apparently whats sensible isnt monitoring threats to food production, of disease outbreaks, its bombing Arabs...

I hate this timeline

He murdered millions.

oh that's okay, we have a prison cell for that.

If this guy ever chokes on a fish bone and dies, the grand, grand, grand majority of people who react in any way will be celebrating.

Imagine being that much of a piece of shit.

Cool. Now pay back reparations for all the damage that you've caused. You can afford it.

I'd love to see a mob get carried away with him in return. That sure would be amusing to watch. I highly doubt justice will ever be dispensed his way otherwise.

Yeah I wish he got carried away… in a pine box.

Hur Dee Hur. Forgot y’all’s was real people down in that k-hole of “the world is a simulation”

Reminder: The USA passed the False Claims Act in 1778 and later developed a full legal framework for combating fraud in 1863 with the Lincoln Law. Fraud at the federal level had a solution that worked time and time again for CENTURIES.

Those are some insightful comments from the world's first Nazi trillionaire white supremacist.

He needs to be carried away.

Let’s fucking kill him!!!!

They got everything they wanted. The country is in a death spiral toward Somalia-style libertarianism, and it can't be stopped.

Hate it when the immigrant billionaires come and makes everyone's life worse

He belongs in federal prison.

He ruins thousands of lives with layoffs and says whoops? Hate that man,

“We need to sort of take a close look at spending and make sure that money is being spent in sensible ways and that it is not wasted or spent on fraudulent activities. And I got a lot of flack for this, obviously,” he said.

Really? That's why you got flack?

Well, I can't speak for everyone, but you got flack from me not for making sure money is being spent in sensible ways. I gave you some flack for being a self-dealing, child-killing, own-fart-smelling, public data-stealing, ketamine-addicted Nazi fascist sociopath who not only wielded your deluded political persecution complex as a weapon for punishing innocent people, you did so without even giving them the dignity of your actual attention unaided by AI.
