“Come with me on a reporting trip,” said New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof. “You’ll see the dying children themselves.”

    Multiple journalists have been quick to respond that, in fact, the deaths of children and other people directly attributed to the termination of USAID programs by the agency he headed have been widely documented by major news outlets.

    I wonder if Musk’s little kid that he used as a baby-shield while doing all those DOGE cuts will ever feel a thing about that.

        I suspect musk’s children are all going to have a moment at some point in their teenage years, where they think about just how little he loved Vivian Wilson and wonder if his love for them is just as conditional.

          How kind of you to assume Musk won’t neuralink his kids to make sure they all love him unconditionally. I’m only half joking because it would be exactly the kind of pathetically disturbing thing Musk would do.

    He issued a “challenge” to Musk: “Come with me on a reporting trip, and we’ll talk to these moms and dads, and you’ll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you’ll change your mind.”

    Musk won’t because he’s a fool, a monster, and a coward. He shouldn’t be allowed to continue living a free life of wealth.

    Musk = the worlds richest loser.

    Sadly, a bigger loser than tRump. He’ll still be celebrated when he dies. (Which one? It doesn’t matter. Joy is joy.)

    Technically true, as in not a single child, but rather, many?
