    You appear to be confusing Elon with Biden.

    Even if that had nothing to do with why he went after USAID he clearly
    should never have been allowed to go after USAID due to the conflict.

    Just because you want to believe articles from biased publications? Look
    up Gizmodo and see for yourself. You'd rather believe that Musk has
    ulterior motives rather than just looking at waste in goverment. That's
    your choice but other people don't have to believe it.

    Gizmodo's media bias rating is Lean Left. An independent review conducted by
    an AllSides staff member in April 2020 concluded that while Gizmodo
    primarily focuses on technology/science news and developments, it sometimes does so with a left-leaning slant. Many politically-oriented stories
    published on Gizmodo feature bias that frames President Donald Trump and conservative policy stances in a critical light. Opinion articles featured
    on Gizmodo tend to favor left-leaning ideals, and rarely support viewpoints that might tend to lean right.

    not all of them lean left.

    A "lean" depends on the viewer's uprightness.
